Negotiation is the art of compromise. Good negotiators are always on the lookout for narrowing the gap between the negotiating tables. As John Ruskin had once famously said, “There is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” So, the ace negotiator also does not stick to a rigid stance. He knows everything is negotiable. A fair resolution to every negotiation is not determined by the exactitude of decimal points, but by the fact that both the parties walk away from the table knowing in their minds that it was the best possible they could get under the given circumstances.
