What restoring a classic car taught me about negotiations

I’ve been restoring classic cars for years – currently a Mercedes R107. Along the way, I realized how similar the process is to preparing for high-stakes negotiations:

  1. Patience: Quality results take time – whether rebuilding an engine or preparing a market access dossier.
  2. Precision: Small details – a missing seal, a wrong number – can change everything.
  3. The right tools: Without specialized tools, restoration stalls. In negotiations, structured frameworks and methods make the difference.

Whether it’s restoring a car or securing reimbursement, success comes from respecting the process.

Where have you seen craftsmanship and business follow the same principles?
