Simplest negotiation ..

Part of moving to a new org with a new team, is knowing their pleasure and pain.
While trying to get an inventory of such emotions, I came across some top pains.

Someone form US, bad mouthing their hard work over nit-picks !

It was a consistent theme ! And I know for sure - perception of a remote site is its oxygen.

So, I called this person. And the negotiation was simple. Ultra simple. Going ahead he highlights the good stuff that the team does in India, and we return the favor.

It is a win-win ! Both trying to grow. And both will !
