The so-called Hermit Kingdom of North Korea recently launched a nuclear weapon test near the border of China, prompting nearly universal approbation from foreign powers. It’s a perfect example of how NOT to succeed, whether you’re building a foreign policy or waging a North Carolina personal injury case.
That may sound like a surprisingly bold statement-after all, North Korea’s nuclear policies may be reprehensible–no one in his or her right mind would defend the Hermit Kingdom’s Human Rights record. However, you could argue that bluster and aggression can win you chits in the foreign policy game. Likewise, you might believe that “swinging a big stick” can help you win a North Carolina class action lawsuit by, for instance, scaring a defendant into settling with you.
Let’s be clear: there IS a time and a place for appropriate aggression.
To win in a negotiation, you must be able to show strength. However, if you show strength in a non-strategic or destructive manner, you can, ironically, tie your hands. You might also miss out on opportunities to get more money AND to come away from the experience feeling good about the process.
“Pugilism” should be in your bag of tricks. But it should not be your only trick.
