I've been studying influence and persuasion skills, but I'm concerned about the ethical line between effective influence and persuasion skills versus manipulation.
What distinguishes ethical influence and persuasion skills from manipulation? I want to develop my influence and persuasion skills to help my team buy into important changes and initiatives, but I don't want to cross into coercive territory.
Are there particular influence and persuasion skills frameworks or approaches that emphasize ethical application? How do you ensure your influence and persuasion skills are transparent and in everyone's best interest?
Also, how do influence and persuasion skills work in different cultural contexts or with different personality types? What influence and persuasion skills are most universally effective?
