When everything feels like it must be done now, you risk:
- Skipping Preparation: Under time pressure, vital research, planning, and strategy often get pushed aside.
- Overlooking Creative Options: Rushing leaves no space to explore out-of-the-box solutions that could unlock more value.
- Damaging Trust: In haste, you might come across as pushy or inattentive to your counterpart’s needs—undermining long-term relationships.
Sometimes speed is necessary, but if every negotiation feels urgent, you’re leaving untapped value on the table. Slow down, plan properly, and watch how your outcomes improve.
