Not every hero throws punches—some win by understanding, listening, and negotiating under pressure. Just finished watching Hijack on Apple TV—and I’ve got to say, Idris Elba’s character should be studied in every negotiation workshop out there. He wasn’t just trying to save lives—he was applying the same principles we use (or should use) in business and everyday life: 🔹 Listening before reacting 🔹 Finding common ground, even with people you completely disagree with 🔹 Keeping emotions in check while everyone else is losing it 🔹 Knowing when to speak, and when silence is more powerful In the series, he’s a professional negotiator—not a cop, not a soldier. Just a man who understands human behavior and how to create outcomes under pressure. And the way he stayed calm, calculated, and strategic throughout? That’s the kind of mindset we all need. Whether you're in a boardroom deal, managing a team conflict, or even navigating personal relationships—negotiation is everywhere. His leadership wasn’t about authority—it was about influence. And his power wasn’t force—it was empathy, timing, and clarity. I went in expecting a thriller. I came out with a few unexpected lessons on negotiation and leadership. Not just thrilling—it's smart. Must-watch
