Fascinating perspective as we approach the holiday season! The Christmas countdown indeed brings unique challenges and opportunities for procurement professionals and lawyers. Your reminder about considering opportunity cost, risk, and benefit during these hectic times is crucial. It's important to stay focused on the broader goals and not get lost in the festive rush. Balancing the urgency of year-end negotiations with strategic objectives is key. This period can be a true test of skill and resilience in maintaining that wider perspective. Wishing everyone in the field a successful and mindful negotiation period. Happy holidays and may the new year bring continued success! 🎄 #ChristmasNegotiations #ProcurementStrategy #HolidaySeasonFocus
