Stratagem 30: Turn Yourself into a Host from Being a Guest or Host and Guest Switch Roles
Identification
Switching from a defensive and passive position to an offensive and active one.
Example
When the flight attendant, after asking nicely for you to sit down, suddenly threatens to throw you off the plane if you don’t comply.
Solution
If you are in a weaker position, do not arouse anger or impatience. Sometimes you have to take what you can get. In addition, do not get flustered by oscillating behavior.
