The Art of the Jedi Mind Trick (Part 1)

What separates persuasion from manipulation? Is there a clear line, or do most forms of influence exist somewhere in between? In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr Angela Lewis explores the psychology and ethics of influence through an unforgettable story about a couple who both tried to end their relationship without ever having an honest conversation. From there, she unpacks the broad spectrum of influence, from education and advocacy to negotiation, collaboration and manipulation. Drawing on philosophy, psychology and intelligence tradecraft, Angela examines why influence is an essential part of leadership and intelligence work, why manipulation is so difficult to define and why transparency and agency may be the key differences between ethical influence and something more problematic.
