#3190: Manipulation Is a GOOD Thing
About this episode
People hear the word "manipulation" and think it’s bad, but that’s not always true. The real meaning is just influencing or controlling something—and it’s been used on you in ways that actually helped you. In this episode, I explain why manipulation can be a good thing and how you can use it in a positive way to help yourself and others. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[03:07]#1 Any action done intentionally or unintentionally to alter another person's behavior is a form of manipulation.
[08:27]#2 Living or behaving in a way that's not aiming to alter other people's thoughts, words, or actions should not be called honesty.
[17:02]#3 The best leaders, influencers, and salespeople are masters of ethical manipulation.
