Make your competitors dance. Keep them guessing by making moves that are solid, but throw in a wildcard every now and then.
Don’t be predictable.
The value of making a bad move is that it alters the way your competitor will look at you and you can use this to your advantage.
Make the competition akin to balancing on the tip of a triangle, but if you are the one pushing the initiative, they’ll be using much more energy than you.
Work smarter, not harder.
