�Manipulation creates unsustainable relationships🤬

Manipulation is popular because it works.

It works until it doesn’t and then nothing works.

Because manipulation produces “win-lose” and even “lose-lose” results leaving a legacy of distrust, destroying reputations.

A sustainable business needs loyalty from leadership, employees, suppliers and customers.

Manipulation can gin up rapid support but it’s built on a bubble that is easily popped.

Once the lies have been discovered former supporters, now angered by having been used seek revenge.

Solutions: Make a Full Accounting Of Your Offers

Constructing a long term win-win for all stakeholders requires that we produce full accounting of the costs of all businesses promises.

�Dont promise what you cant deliver. �Suppress the use of manipulation. �Speak truth.

�Manipulation Poisons Your Information🧪

�Information -> knowledge when understood. �Knowledge -> wisdom when applied.

A successful business must master the flow of all above.

A business is a group of people that know things and know how to do things, cooperating together to accomplish what that no one person has the knowlege to do alone.

The more accurate that information and the faster it flows the better your business is at adapting to changes.

Manipulation in business:

�blocks the flow of information �sows distrust of shared information �shames people into silence �politicises what information is used in decision making �demoralises top performers who take their knowlege elsewhere

Solution: Truth Before Face Corporate Culture

�Cultivate a business culture that praises and protects speaking the truth. �Teach everyone how to spot, call out and defeat manipulation. �Make your work place uncomfortable for their who continue to use manipulation.

�Manipulation Drives Off High Performers💸

�80% of profits are generated by 20% of employees. �64% of profits are generated by 4% of employees.

Retaining your top 4% makes or breaks your business.

Most high performers have very little tolerance for mind games and office politics.

They come to work to create, innovate, build, discover, etc. They love the challange of the job and dealing with manipulative coworkers or corporate culture is an irritant they abhor.

Manipulators fear competing with your high performers so they use manipulation to drive them off.

Left unchecked you end up with a business full of low preforming, bickering, backstabbers who will eventually find a way to destroy the hand that feeds them.

Solution: Protect your high performers

�Put high performers in independant skunkworks divisions away from office politics. �Teach them how to defeat manipulators. �Have management call out and suppress manipulation. �Cultivate a manipulation free culture.

To defeat manipulation we need to understand it.
