Controlling People

Manipulation. Raising one's voice. Anger. Threats. Arm-twisting. Pouting. Flattery. There are a myriad of approaches that people use (in business, in life) to move, motivate (control?) people. Which "approach" do you respond to most? Do you tend to allow others to "control" you? (Be honest.) On the other hand, which "approach" do you use most to get others to respond? Are you a "controller" yourself? (Be honest again.) The only legitimate approach to move, motivate people is one that allows them (us) the freedom to choose of their (our) own accord (without coercion). What step can you take right now to stop controlling or being controlled? (Yes, I was trying to move, motivate you, but in a nice, "uncontrolling" way.)Labels: calaveras county, control, free choice, lake tulloch real estate, mother lode, real estate, real estate twain harte, residential sales, sonora, tuolumne county

thanks for your thoughts on controlling and being controlled. Personally, I believe that a good way to stop being controlled is to stand up for one's own beliefs and needs. But I also think that being controlled or to control somebody isn't necessarily negative. Control in the form of guidance is often very important and people are glad for it. The question is: Do you gain profit from the other's willingness to be controlled/guided for something you shouldn't? Do you force somebody to do something he/she wouldn't?
Agree with Gino. And with the idea of non coercive convincing instead of controlling. Some people, depending on the situation, need, even ask for a bit of control in order to keep efforts aiming to the original/needed goal. It might sound as I need to use the word guidance instead, but then, the line between these two is very thin, Isn't it? I think is about "manners" -I know it sounds cheesy-.
