Ultimatums can be effective, as a negotiating style. But they are also volatile and dangerous - they fail more often than they succeed.
Oh it doesn’t have to be “confrontational” if communicated properly. It’s not hostile, or anything of the sort. Strictly business. We are running a multimillion dollar (billion dollar?) business and have timelines to make decisions. Fact is, we need certainty before the draft to optimize value so that’s what we intend to do. If you’re not sure, that’s fine, no hard feelings, but we have to make decisions on our timeline- not Lindholm’s. Again, pretty straightforward. And yes he can give that certainty before the draft (in good faith).
