“In Sheep’s Clothing” is also one of the “The Power Moves recommended books”. To deal with it effectively, see “ handling microaggressions“. It covers the psychology of social manipulators, power-hungry men, and covert-aggression.Ĭovert aggression is aggression in disguise, often used by social manipulators so that they can always deny their aggression, retreat, save face, and then probably blame you for your own overreaction. This is one of the foundational books on manipulation. You’ve already made a bad bargain, and now you’re delivering more value than you need to, making your bargain even worse.
The simple reason is that if you over-perform at the Loser level (ed.: the low-level employee), it is clear that you are an idiot.
So why is promoting over-performing Losers logical? If you’re looking for practical wisdom instead, then Business University may be your best bet to turn knowledge into strategies and techniques. Technically, it’s a series of posts turned into a book.īut if your goal is to understand manipulation, then wisdom should be your top priority, and not the format.Īnd albeit the framework in The Gervais Principle may be simplistic and more theoretical than practical, it’s still one of the best books to understand corporate manipulation (<- and that one linked there is the best post to understand corporate manipulation, BTW).
