You can't build great products on gut instinct, and yet, according to IBM's global study of 1,000 enterprises, 77% of organisations using generative AI aren't seeing any financial benefit.

Incremental adaptation in modern warfare has astonished military observers globally. Ukraine's meticulously planned Operation Spider Web stands as a stark reminder of how bottom-up innovation combined with hi-tech solutions can prove their mettle on the battlefield. It has also exposed the recurring flaw in the strategic mindsets of the great powers: undermining small powers, their propensity for defence, and their will to resist. Having large-scale conventional militaries and legacy battle systems, great powers are generally guided by a hubris of technological preeminence and expectations of fighting large-scale industrial wars. In contrast, small powers don't fight in the same paradigm; they innovate from the bottom up, leveraging terrain advantage by repurposing dual-use tech, turning the asymmetries to their favour. History offers notable instances of great power failures in asymmetric conflicts. From the French Peninsular War to the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, these conflicts demonstrate the great powers' failure to adapt to the opponent's asymmetric strategies. This is partly due to their infatuation with the homogeneity of military thought, overwhelming firepower and opponents' strategic circumspection to avoid symmetric confrontation with the great powers. On the contrary, small powers possess limited means and objectives when confronting a great power. They simply avoid fighting in the opponent's favoured paradigm. Instead, they employ an indirect strategy of attrition, foster bottom-up high-tech innovation and leverage terrain knowledge to increase attritional cost and exhaust opponents' political will to fight. Similarly, small powers are often more resilient, which is manifested by their higher threshold of pain to incur losses, an aspect notably absent in great powers' war calculus. In the Operation Spider Web, Ukraine employed a fusion of drone technology with human intelligence (HUMINT) to attack Russia's strategic aviation mainstays. Eighteen months before the attack, Ukraine's Security Services (SBU) covertly smuggled small drones and modular launch systems compartmentalised inside cargo trucks. These drones were later transported close to Russian airbases. Utilising an open-source software called ArduPilot, these drones struck a handful of Russia's rear defences, including Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo and Belaya airbases. Among these bases, Olenya is home to the 40th Composite Aviation Regiment - a guardian of Russia's strategic bomber fleet capable of conducting long-range strikes. The operation not only damaged Russia's second-strike capability but also caught the Russian military off guard in anticipating such a coordinated strike in its strategic depth. Russia's rugged terrain, vast geography and harsh climate realities shielded its rear defences from foreign incursions. Nonetheless, Ukraine's bottom-up innovation in hi-tech solutions, coupled with a robust HUMINT network, enabled it to hit the strategic nerve centres, which remained geographically insulated for centuries. Since the offset of hostilities, Ukraine has adopted a whole-of-society approach to enhance its defence and technological ecosystem. By leveraging creativity, Ukraine meticulously developed, tested and repurposed the dual-use technologies to maximise its warfighting potential. From sinking Russia's flagship Moskva to hitting its aviation backbones, Ukraine abridged the loop between prototyping, testing, and fielding drones in its force structures. Another underrated aspect of Ukraine's success is the innovate or perish mindset. Russia's preponderant technology and overwhelming firepower prompted Ukrainians to find a rapid solution to defence production. Most of Ukraine's defence industrial base is located in Eastern Ukraine, which sustained millions of dollars' worth of damage from Russia's relentless assaults. Therefore, the Ukrainian government made incremental changes in Military Equipment and Weaponry (MEW) requirements by outs...

In this candid snack episode, Miranda and Tracy explore the critical importance of building intentional professional community as a practice owner. Drawing from Tracy's recently updated blog post "Choosing Your Village" (originally written in 2011), they discuss why independent healthcare providers need more than clinical expertise—they need a village of people who understand the unique challenges of practice ownership.  Click here for full show notes  Episode Highlights  Why community matters more now: The impact of digital connection versus genuine human connection, and how COVID increased isolation for independent practice owners  Village vs. support network: Understanding the difference between personal support and professional community  Energy audit for relationships: How to identify which connections drain you and which ones light you up—and what to do about it  Recovery from burnout: Practical steps for practice owners running on empty, including the WHO's 12 stages of burnout  Incremental progress over perfection: Why starting small (like drinking enough water) creates sustainable change  Memorable Quotes  "I think we are more digitally connected and yet feeling more disconnected. For all humans, we're really feeling that, and COVID really increased our sense of isolation."  "I need professional friends. I need professional colleagues in my world, other business owners... other crazy people who can show you that what you're going through is common, maybe even normal."  "If I'm feeling this way with lots of people, it might be time for me to take a nap and have a snack."  "Mindful means slowing down. Sometimes literally putting my hand on my heart and just checking in."  "It's better, it's more sustainable to start with something that you know you can do. I know I can carry my water bottle around and sip on it all day."  Closing  This episode serves as a gentle reminder that practice ownership doesn't have to be a solitary journey.

One thing that's really obvious when you talk with Johnny Youssef is that he's just a very positive and happy guy. And, frankly, it's amazing what he's accomplished at a still-young age. Johnny started his journey in Egypt, and eventually landed in Kansas City as a small developer and rental property owner. We talk about how he focused on the not-sexy parts of our region, and quickly built an income portfolio that has served him well.Johnny is the closest thing to a social media star that I've had on the show. In fact, almost everything we talk about can be seen on his channels, and I'd certainly recommend checking out his videos. In particular, his story of buying and renovating and old church here in Midtown KC is fantastic.There's so much to learn from people like Johnny that just get in the game, take risks, and build. It's a spirit we could use a lot more of, and in Johnny's case I can't wait to see what else he accomplishes.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

In this episode, Tracy and I break down why leaders cling to stories instead of facts, how “no one wants to work” is rarely true, and why 89% turnover in 90 days doesn't mean failure—it means you're solving the wrong problem. We dig into the hidden costs of poor onboarding, why perfection is the enemy of progress, and how small experiments compound into lasting change.We also role-play the hard conversations most leaders avoid: asking for resources, addressing pay gaps, and backing process changes. Tracy shows how turning impact into a clear request transforms whining into influence—and why fear of tough conversations keeps organizations stuck in chaos.The throughline: stop venting, start requesting. Systems won't fix themselves, people won't magically stay, and sales numbers don't rise just because you hope they will. Elite leadership is having the clarity and courage to pitch the real solution.TL;DR* Complaints hide requests: Every gripe signals an unmet need—translate it into a clear ask.* Facts over stories: “No one wants to work” → actually 89% quit in 90 days, but 11% stayed. Find the real cause.* Perfection kills momentum: Incremental fixes beat waiting for the flawless solution.* Onboarding matters: Most “lazy hires” are system failures, not people failures.* Courage in conversations: Leaders stall not because they lack answers, but because they fear asking for change.* Compounding gains: Small, repeatable improvements snowball into massive organizational shifts.Memorable lines* “Every complaint is a poorly worded request.”* “If perfect is the standard, walk out the door now—you'll never reach it.”* “The biggest leap isn't good to great, it's chaos to not that bad.”* “Tough isn't stubborn—tough is smart clarity backed by courage.”GuestTracy Austin — Leadership consultant focused on trade industries and frontline retention. She helps organizations cut turnover, build onboarding systems, and transform complaints into action.

In this comprehensive discussion led by Dawn Rickabaugh, a seasoned seller finance expert and owner of NoteQueen.com, the multifaceted benefits and strategies of using owner financing in real estate transactions are explored in depth. Dawn emphasizes the critical interplay between "property and paper," referring to the tangible real estate asset and the financial instruments (notes) that represent debt secured by that property. The conversation covers practical insights for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals on how seller financing can serve as a powerful alternative or complement to traditional bank financing, especially in challenging market conditions where conventional loans may be difficult to obtain. Dawn highlights the growing importance of owner financing amid tightening credit markets, rising interest rates, and shifting real estate dynamics in various U.S. regions and Canada. She explains how owner financing not only opens doors for buyers with substantial down payments but limited access to bank loans, but also creates unique opportunities for sellers to maximize their property's value by offering flexible, attractive financing terms. The discussion dives into the strategic advantages of owning and buying notes, including the ability to buy back one's own mortgage at a discount, negotiate terms directly with note holders, and benefit from the personal relationship between buyer and seller—advantages not available with traditional bank loans. Real-life examples and participant insights enrich the discussion, illustrating how owner financing can enable cash flow, tax benefits, and enhanced deal flexibility. The session also addresses common misconceptions, the importance of legal protections such as first rights of refusal and transferability clauses, and innovative approaches like rent-to-own conversions and master leases. The conversation culminates in practical advice for real estate agents to leverage these tools to rescue commissions and become indispensable dealmakers in a market where creative financing solutions are increasingly vital. Dawn announces forthcoming educational courses aimed at empowering buyers and investors to confidently use owner financing and notes as wealth-building vehicles. Overall, the session serves as both a primer and an advanced exploration of seller financing's potential to transform real estate investing and homeownership. ### Highlights   - [00:00:05]

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo discusses the contrast between small thinking and big thinking in financial planning. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on larger financial goals rather than getting caught up in minor savings habits, such as cutting out small luxuries like Starbucks. By analyzing the impact of lifestyle choices on savings and the power of incremental changes, Ryan illustrates how a small adjustment in spending can lead to significant wealth accumulation over time. He encourages listeners to adopt a big picture mindset to enhance their financial well-being. Check out our website:  beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Small thinking focuses on minor savings, like cutting out Starbucks. Big thinking involves understanding the larger financial picture. Saving $50 a week may not significantly impact long-term wealth. A household income of $300,000 can lead to substantial savings if managed well. Incremental changes in lifestyle can have a dramatic effect on savings. A 1% difference in lifestyle spending can lead to millions in savings over time. It's essential to capture savings automatically to build wealth. The wealth building account can help manage finances effectively. Small adjustments can lead to significant financial outcomes. Thinking differently about money can change your financial future.

Generative AI has captured global attention, powering everything from chatbots to intelligent assistants. Yet in the enterprise, its promise often hits a dead end. According to Gartner, 80 per cent of enterprise data remains unused or “dark,” because conventional AI struggles to interpret complex, domain-specific information.In this episode of the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, EM360Tech host Trisha Pillay speaks with Andreas Blumauer, Senior Vice President at Graphwise, about how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and its advanced application, Graph RAG, are levelling up enterprise AI. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional AI, the critical role of knowledge graphs in improving data accuracy, and what it takes for organisations to successfully adopt these technologies.Why Graph RAG MattersWhile RAG enhances Generative AI by enabling it to retrieve relevant data from large knowledge bases, Graph RAG takes it further. By integrating knowledge graphs, Graph RAG preserves the relationships, sequences, and meaning inherent in enterprise data. This ensures AI outputs are not just collections of facts, but structured insights that reflect the logic of an organisation's knowledge.These advantages include:Higher accuracy: Retrieval precision can increase from 80% to 95%, reducing errors in AI outputs.Trustworthy results: Outputs are explainable and traceable, providing transparency that enterprises require.Scalable integration: Connects data across silos and departments, making AI adoption enterprise-ready.“Graph RAG respects the structure of enterprise data instead of flattening it. That's what makes it trustworthy,” explains Blumauer.Generative AI opened the door to possibilities. RAG made it actionable. Graph RAG takes it to the next level. By transforming dark, siloed data into structured, actionable knowledge, Graph RAG helps organisations achieve the accuracy, trust, and scalability essential for navigating the next frontier of enterprise intelligence.Takeaways80 per cent of enterprise data remains unused or dark.Traditional AI struggles to interpret complex enterprise data.RAG retrieves information from within the enterprise data landscape.Graph RAG improves the accuracy of AI outputs.Knowledge graphs link data points across different silos.Building a knowledge graph is a strategic investment.Incremental growth is possible with knowledge graphs.Graph RAG can increase accuracy from 80 per cent to 95 per cent.Data quality and governance are essential for AI success.The future of enterprise AI relies on effective knowledge management.Chapters00:00 Introduction to RAG and Graph RAG03:04 Understanding the Importance of Knowledge Graphs05:46 Adopting RAG: Organisational Readiness and Strategic Investment08:51 Real-World Applications and Benefits of Graph RAG11:56 The Evolution of Knowledge Graphs in AI14:46 Future of GraphRAG and Enterprise AI17:36 Rapid Fire Questions and Closing ThoughtsAbout GraphwiseGraphwise is a leading enterprise AI company specialising in knowledge graph technologies.

Pricing isn't just a box office task. It's one of the most strategic levers arts organizations have. Yet too often, pricing is treated as an emotional, reactive decision; or worse, an afterthought. In this episode, we unpack why the sector has fallen behind inflation, why the fear of raising prices lingers, and how strategic pricing can reshape both revenue resilience and accessibility. From pandemic-era hesitancy to the misconception that lowering price drives demand, we explore why pricing belongs at the leadership table and what it looks like when data (not gut instinct) drives decisions. This is a call for leaders to move beyond set-it-and-forget-it pricing and instead adopt a discipline of monitoring, testing, and adapting. When pricing is managed strategically, organizations don't just cover costs; they build relationships and grow loyalty and sustainable income. Key takeaways you can act on: Pricing is leadership work: The most important financial lever shouldn't be left to siloed decision-making. Fear is costing you revenue: Incremental price adjustments prevent the “catch-up sting” of years of inaction. Demand drives price (not the other way around): Price changes don't create demand; they should respond to it. When seats aren't selling, the challenge is awareness and value perception, not the cost of the ticket. Accessibility and revenue can coexist: Strategic scaling allows organizations to expand affordable access while strengthening income. Dynamic pricing is about nuance: It means responding to demand in both directions: raising or lowering when data shows it matters. Stop measuring success by sellouts: Optimize per-ticket revenue and define success by patron behavior, not full houses. For more insights, past episodes, and to sign up for our newsletter, visit trgarts.com/leadingtheway  Contact Info:   Email letstalk@trgarts.com

What Seinfeld Taught Me about Iterative and Incremental - Mike CohnAgile is both an iterative and incremental process. I've taught this in classes for 25 years. Yet I've never felt like I had the right way to explain how they both differ and relate.Until now.I recently watched the documentary “Comedian,” about Jerry Seinfeld deciding to return to standup comedy after ending his long-running hit television series.The film shows Seinfeld developing a completely new act. He couldn't rely on jokes from his standup routines from a decade earlier.He begins by performing for just a few minutes at small comedy clubs. After each performance he refines the wording, sequence, and pacing of his jokes. He's iterating over each joke.As he finds material that works, he adds time to his show. His performance goes from five minutes to ten. He is incrementally building his show. He continues adding increments (new jokes) until he achieves his goal of more than an hour of new material.Refining each joke is iterating. Adding jokes bit by bit until he has a full show is incremental.This example also shows why iterating and incremental aren't very good on their own. Imagine a comedian who only iterates over existing material but never adds new material. Or one who keeps adding new jokes but never iterates to ensure each is funny.Another thing the “Comedian” movie teaches is the value of experimenting. When Seinfeld (and another comedian profiled in the film) perform, their shows contain a mix of material they know will get laughs and some new jokes they're trying out.Experimenting is equally important in product development. Teams can experiment with their process or the product—by delivering small, partial features to confirm their value before going all-in.I knew agile teams need to be iterative and incremental, but this documentary taught me comedians need to also if they want to succeed at comedy,How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight A's, and Succeed in School (Learning how to Learn Book 17) By: Peter HollinsHear it Here - https://bit.ly/StudySkillsHollinshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B099QWGNNGThis video delves into effective studying techniques drawn from "The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight As, and Succeed in School" by Peter Hollins. Learn how to make your study sessions fun, easy, and successful. We'll discuss Chapter 2 topics including subject mastery, teaching others, and The Learning Pyramid. Discover the power of The Protégé Effect in enhancing your learning experience. Join us as we unravel these valuable strategies to help you reach your academic goals."Studying Techniques: Unlocking Your Full Potential - Study Skills Handbook"**Tags/Keywords:**- Study Skills Handbook- Peter Hollins- Studying Techniques- Subject Mastery- Teaching Others- Learning Pyramid- Protégé Effect**Learning Through Teaching:**- Deepens our understanding and retention- Discovers richer appreciation for concepts- Effective strategy to improve recall and comprehension**The Protégé Effect:**- Students who teach others perform better- Incremental learning, responsibility, egoprotection**Analogies in Teaching:**- Powerful tools for conveying new concepts- Use various analogies for different topics- Clarify purpose and reserve them for complex ideasJoin us as we delve into the fascinating world of learning through teaching. Discover how this approach deepens our understanding, enhances recall, and leads to better comprehension. We'll explore the protégé effect, a phenomenon where students who teach others thrive in their academic journey. Lastly, we'll unpack the power of analogies in teaching – an essential tool for effectively conveying new concepts. Stay tuned as we dive into these topics and more! • By learning to teach others, we deepen our own understanding and retention, since we uncover a richer and more fundamental appreciation of the concepts behind the material. Compared to other strategies, teaching others may have the highest chance of improving recall and comprehension. • The protégé effect is the observation that students who teach others do better, perhaps because they learn incrementally, take responsibility for the learning process, and are “ego-protected” from the prospect of failure. • Analogies, examples, and metaphors are powerful tools to convey new concepts. To use them effectively in teaching/learning, make use of as many different analogies as possible and mix them in frequently, using examples to illustrate. Only use those analogies that actually work (i.e. don't forget their purpose) and reserve them more complex topics, since they may only confuse simpler ideas. **Key Takeaways:**- Teaching others deepens your own understanding and retention of concepts- The protégé effect: students who teach others perform better- Use analogies, examples, and metaphors to convey new concepts effectively - Use multiple analogies for complex topics - Avoid confusing simpler ideas with overly complex analogies**Additional Notes:**- Teaching others enhances learning experience- Protégé effect: students take responsibility and are protected from failure- Analogies provide effective illustrations, but use them wisely.

The sisters are ecstatic to build with writer, activist and historian Rebecca Solnit. Her latest book is No Straight Road Takes You There: Essays on Uneven Terrain.They talk about how solidarity is always across difference and about the things we have in common mattering more then the things we don't, how liberation is contagious, prioritizing where to pour our energy, a politics of inseparability vs. the politics of division, our default response of turning towards each other in a crisis, how it turns out that even when your world has fallen apart you can light up with joy because you found the meaning and connection that's been missing in everyday life, a world with an abundance of time and security rather than abundance as neoliberal rhetoric, how there's no shortage of anything, just distribution problems, hunkering down for the likely reality of climate collapse and how we can't save everything but that doesn't mean we can't save anything.---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TRANSCRIPT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SHOW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT Our Show on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PEEP us on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on the show, Marit Chervier de Ruiter brings her expertise in combining commercial structure with psychoanalytical principles to help businesses achieve long-lasting results in negotiation and sales. We dig into the critical differences between negotiation strategy and tactics, Marit shares game-changing tips for high-stakes negotiations, and how to cultivate stronger, more collaborative relationships with clients. She also shares her top dos and don'ts in negotiation and offers a real-world example of navigating a challenging deal with grace and success. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Build value step-by-step in negotiations to create stronger long-term relationships. [05:33] Know your audience, predict reactions, and stay agile. [06:48] Choose negotiation strategy based on relationship: competitive for one-off deals, collaborative for long-term relationships. [12:03] Be cautious about sharing too much information in negotiations to prevent the other party from using it against you. [10:13] Marit's top three negotiation dos and don'ts. [13:44] A real-life scenario where Marit's informal strategy resets the negotiation tone. Strategies and Tactics for High-Stakes Sales Your strategy is your overall plan: the “why” and “what” behind your negotiations. It's about defining your end goal and determining the outcomes you hope to achieve. Tactics, on the other hand, are the practical steps and techniques you employ during the negotiation—the “how” that helps implement your strategy. Marit brilliantly uses the analogy of the board game Risk. Your strategy might be to conquer the most territories in Asia, but your specific moves—where to place armies, which battles to pick—constitute your tactics. This symbiotic relationship between strategy and tactics is at the heart of effective negotiation. Incremental Value Creation as a Powerful Negotiation Strategy When entering high-stakes deals, Marit's go-to strategy is incremental value creation. Rather than rushing in to claim as much as possible, she advocates for building value collaboratively and step by step. This approach aims to expand the “pie” for all involved, rather than fighting for the largest slice of a smaller one. Incremental value creation doesn't just lead to higher deal outcomes—it also lays the groundwork for strong, long-term relationships. As Marit notes, being able to foster trust and collaboration through this approach is just as important as the immediate value of the deal itself. Tactics for Gaining Leverage in Complex Deals Marit's experience has equipped her with three favorite negotiation tactics that consistently deliver results: Giver's Gain & Reciprocity: By giving value upfront, you trigger the powerful psychological principle of reciprocity. When you offer something, the other side is often compelled—sometimes unconsciously—to give in return. The Power of Silence: Marit emphasizes that listening is critical. Silence can be uncomfortable, leading others to fill the gap with information. The insights gained from simply listening can be incredibly valuable in steering negotiations. Never Go Alone: In high-stakes negotiations, going as a team allows you to multitask during meetings—you can observe nonverbal clues, take notes, listen attentively, and strategize in real time. Solo negotiators simply can't do it all; teamwork is a tactical advantage. Collaborative vs. Competitive Approaches Marit highlights the importance of tailoring your negotiation strategy to the context. If you're pursuing a one-time transaction, a more competitive stance may suffice. But if you're aiming for a long-term relationship, collaboration and value creation take precedence. However, what if your counterpart takes a competitive approach despite your collaborative intentions? Marit's advice: acknowledge the approach, reset the tone, and strive to steer the discussion toward shared value rather than mere positional bargaining. Marit wraps up the episode with a real-world example: facing a key client who violated a contract but remained strategically vital. Instead of severing ties, her team reset the relationship through informal conversation before formal negotiation, split roles as “good cop, bad cop,” and found a mutually acceptable solution. The outcome? A salvaged relationship and a creative, trust-based agreement.

As we work on our new season of Becoming the Vision, we're thrilled to feature an episode from the new podcast, Nonprofits Now: Leading Today from the good folks at The Chronicle of Philanthropy. SUBSCRIBE TODAY!--As nonprofit leaders grapple with increasingly dire threats to their funding and missions, it's more important than ever to understand what it takes to lead resilient organizations.For a look at what skills are most important, we hear from Vanessa Priya Daniel, who interviewed 45 social-justice leaders for her new book, Unrig the Game: What Women of Color Can Teach Everyone About Winning.Daniel combines her extensive research for the book with her own experiences as an organizer and founder of Groundswell Fund and Groundswell Action Fund — which together have distributed more than $100 million to over 200 organizations led by women of color and transgender people.In a conversation with Chronicle CEO Stacy Palmer, Daniel says her interviews led her to identify three all successful change agents possessed: • Bold ideas. Incremental solutions don't add up to enough to solve the tremendous challenges of today and tomorrow.  • Generosity. Daniel says an “ethos of rising by lifting others” is what makes the women she interviewed successful. • 360-degree vision. There's never just one cause of a problem that's complex and worth solving.---You can find a video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugOjpCJ3ChE&t=81sNonprofits Now: Leading Today is hosted by Stacy Palmer.
