Description
In any relationship, the person who has the least interest in continuing the relationship (i.e. has the best walk-away strategy) has the greatest power.
Example
If I am thinking vaguely about selling my house and the buyer is desperately keen on buying it, I have no need at all to reduce my price. I could even invent 'another interested person' to help crank the price up.
So what?
Using it
Develop your walk-away position. Ensure you can leave at any time. Try to damage the other person’s ability to walk away. Watch out for them damaging your walk-away position.
Defending
Never appear desperate for agreement: you will only lose.
