Negotiation (Harvard Method)

IRON LAW: Know Your BATNA Before Entering Any Negotiation

BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) is your walkaway power.
If you don't know your BATNA, you don't know when to walk away — and
you'll either accept a bad deal or reject a good one.

Calculate your BATNA and the other side's BATNA before the negotiation starts.
