How to Talk to Anyone 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships (Leil Lowndes) (z-lib.org)

Parties Are for Prat ter
There are three sacred safe havens in the human jungle
where even the toughest tiger knows he must not
attack. The first of these is parties.
Parties are for pleasantries and good fellowship, not
for confrontations. Big players, even when standing
next to their enemies at the buffet table, smile and nod.
They leave tough talk for tougher settings.

Did you ever wonder why business lunches between big bosses go
on interminably long, sometimes well into the afternoon? Did you
ever suspect it’s just because they like to sit, drink, and massage
each other on the company expense account? Perhaps there’s an
element of that. But the main reason is because the dining table
is an even more sacred safe haven than a party. Big boys and big
girls realize, whether it’s a business dinner, lunch, or breakfast,
breaking bread together is a time when they must discuss no
unpleasant aspects of the business. After all, tough negotiating can
kill your appetite.
Let’s listen in on an average business lunch between big play-
ers. We hear the clanking of glasses as they consume drinks over
convivial conversation. They are discussing golf, the weather, and
making general observations about the state of the business. Dur-
ing the main course, the discourse turns to food, the arts, current
affairs, and other nonthreatening subjects.
“Wasted time?” one might ask. Not at all! The big players are
watching each other’s moves very carefully, calculating each other’s
skills, knowledge, prowess. Like NFL scouts observing college
football practice, they’re determining who’s got the right stuff. Big

players know how people handle themselves at a social occasion is
an accurate barometer of their big-business muscle. As they are
smiling and laughing at each other’s jokes, they are all making
silent critical judgments.
Finally, coffee arrives. At this point one or more of the biggies
gently broaches the business at hand. Naturally, he or she does it
with supposed reluctance, trying to repress the obvious relief that
at last they can get down to significant stuff. He exudes, “What a
shame such genial company should have to concern itself with
mundane matters like making money.”
Only after they have played out this crucial charade can they
discuss business. But no dirty business. The biggies can brainstorm
over coffee. They can discuss proposals over dessert. They can toss
around new ideas over cordials. They can explore the positive side
of the merger, the acquisition, or the partnership while waiting for
the check.
However, should any disagreement, misunderstanding, or
controversial aspect arise, they must immediately relegate it to
another table, the conference table.
