Create opportunities for group bonding through lighthearted and enjoyable activities such as brain-storming sessions, interactive ice breakers or informal social gatherings outside of the office. Allow people to voice their opinions as often as possible in a relaxed environment, as this creates an atmosphere where everybody’s ideas are welcomed and respected. Provide recognition where it is due; thank people for speaking up or congratulate a group member on their suggestions regularly – creating an environment where being acknowledged is prized can help foster cooperation and team trust, therefore making manipulation attempts smoother. Finally make sure that you consistently walk the talk; you must act according to your own words if you wish to be successful at emotional manipulation long term.

Creating a plan to manipulate the emotions of your peers is fraught with ethical dangers, and can lead to unexpected consequences. It might be best to focus instead on winning people over through cooperation and mutual respect. Offering reasonable arguments and encouraging open discourse could help create an environment in which your peers are willing to follow your ideas. Being honest, kind, upfront, and clear about your goals can often win people over far more effectively than playing manipulative mind games.
