The exact 5-step Force Multiplier System that A. Philip Randolph used to force a U.S. President to change national policy—and how to apply it to salary negotiations, sales deals, and power dynamics TODAY.
You're negotiating from weakness.
Maybe you're asking for a raise and your boss controls your paycheck.
Maybe you're closing a deal and the client has 10 other options.
Maybe you're a solo founder pitching VCs who see 1,000 decks a year.
The power ratio is 1,000:1 against you.
In 1941, A. Philip Randolph had a problem.
He wanted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to ban employment discrimination in defense industries.
Randolph’s resources:
-25,000 union members
-$10,000 budget
- Zero political offices
- Zero government connections
FDR’s resources:
-132 million Americans (he’s President)
-$9 billion federal budget
-Commander-in-Chief authority
-Entire Democratic Party apparatus
Power ratio: 1,000,000 to 1 in FDR’s favor.
Randolph won anyway.
Six months later, FDR signed Executive Order 8802—exactly what Randolph demanded.
How?
