Hi D! Good to be back! I feel the One-Upmanship Strategy is the most common strategy I've seen throughout my life - from Primary School onwards! It almost feels like the most fundamental step in seeking power/ boosting an ego in modern everyday life. It's passive aggressive and deceitful and just seems like it's EVERYWHERE. I felt like the reversal didn't really expose any weakness to the strategy and seemed to say the velvet glove/ pleasant mask was still the wisest strategy. While I am sure you would have used a pleasant mask many times (who hasnt) you also seem to be someone who will drop the mask and light up with a direct attack from time to time hehe. Do you think you can explain a time where it has helped you to drop the pretense and be frank and direct? Was it a mistake or is there a reversal to the one-upmanship strategy that could work and be a wiser maneauver?

2020-07-05 23:58:33 +0000 UTCI think most of us learn the Fait Accompli strategy the hard way. Do you have any good biting off more than you can chew stories?
2020-07-05 23:27:50 +0000 UTCOn one-upmanship: I have a feeling you've used this technique before. Could you give a personal example? On chapter 29: I think this is the first case where I find the author should have had more examples. This strategy overall is in the same vein as "divide and conquer" in the sense that it splits a bigger objective into smaller steps, but in a linear (rather than bisectional) approach, with a notion of pacing, taking things slow. It is something I am not sure whether you have personal examples about, but perhaps you can point to other examples you have seen, say in a business context?
