In the early 1970s, I attended what the Marine Corps calls “The Basic School” or “TBS”. That’s where newly minted Marine Corps officers learn how to lead men in ground combat.

But TBS is also where I learned about one of the most important elements of successful negotiating. It is a lesson that has never left me.
