Using open-ended questions and asking for opinions instead of providing direct advice can be an effective way to manipulate team discussions. By asking questions, you allow others to consider your views without realizing it and could influence their thoughts in the direction you prefer. Additionally, active listening to what people are saying can help recognize opportunities to build support and gain buy-in without appearing too directive.

By using body language and making eye contact while speaking, it creates a sense of inclusion and encourages others to gravitate towards your viewpoint. Additionally, rephrasing your point in a way that ties into the needs or interests of team members encourages buy-in because it makes them feel as if they had some input on the decision. Lastly, positive language and using non- threatening terms ensures that you come across as open-minded which allows for more productive conversations.
