...shouting the loudest, or just by being doggedly petulant. We win by being wise, by standing back, holding back, thinking carefully and choosing our words well. If we really want to win, we transcend our fear of losing. We give way when we can and seek compromise rather than conflict.
Hollow victories are easily attainable. Meaningful agreements, though, while they may be much more difficult to arrive at, will always prove infinitely more rewarding.
If you don't want a tail of a monkey to touch you
then don't attend the monkey dance. (African Proverb)
