Tune in Tokyo!

Hey, so the other day I was at a client site running a project kickoff meeting and one of the key managers happened to be wearing this crazy low-cut top. Quite a distraction right? So using all powers of will, I kept my eyes at head-level and carried right on, but you do have to wonder what's up with that?

The funny bit is that in following days, this manager has transitioned the old wardrobe to some frightfully dull little house on the prairie stylings (much to the dismay of colleagues) and has been aggressively negotiating scope. Fun fun!

So my question is: is the preemptive booby strike an effective negotiating tool? Time shall tell....
