[Tango-L] Tango and Management Skills

[Niki Papapetrou]

I think I've seen something similar on youtube. Someone dong a presentation
on business/negotiation skills, using tango as a metaphore (making  initial
contact, getting  a feel of where the other person is, establishing trust,
making and answering to requests, possible disagreements along the way,
finding a common ground etc. etc. ). I'll post the link if I come across it
over the next day or two.
