Avoid using manipulative tactics in persuasion from "summary" of A ARTE DA PERSUASÃO by JAMES BORG
Manipulative tactics in persuasion are not only unethical but also counterproductive. When we resort to manipulation to get what we want, we may achieve our immediate goal, but we damage our credibility and trustworthiness in the long run. People are not fools. They can see through our tactics and will eventually resent being manipulated. Using manipulation in persuasion is a sign of insecurity and a lack of confidence in our ability to persuade through honest means. When we manipulate others, we are essentially saying that we do not believe in the strength of our arguments or the value of our ideas. We are undermining our own position by resorting to underhanded tactics. Manipulative tactics may give us a short-term advantage, but they are not sustainable in the long term. Once people realize that they have been manipulated, they are likely to become resistant to our influence in the future. They may even actively work against us out of a sense of betrayal and resentment. In contrast, honest persuasion based on sound reasoning, empathy, and integrity is not only more ethical but also more effective. When we appeal to people's reason and emotions in a genuine and transparent way, we build trust and rapport. We create a foundation for long-lasting relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.- Persuasion is about building consensus and fostering cooperation. It is about finding common ground and working together towards shared goals. Manipulation, on the other hand, is about deception and coercion. It is about getting our way at the expense of others. In the end, it is not a sustainable or ethical way to persuade others.
