Harnessing the Power of Leverage

Understanding that all narcissists are driven by narcissistic supply, with diamond level supply being the image they project to the world and coal level supply being the manipulation and mistreatment of others, allows you to create leverage. By threatening their diamond level supply, such as their reputation or achievements, you can gain an advantage in negotiations. It's important to identify their diamond level supply and use it strategically to get what you want. For example, providing flattery and compliments can make them more amenable to your requests. Anticipating their behavior and responses in negotiations is crucial, as well as disarming them by using language that acknowledges their feelings and perspective without escalating conflict.
