Replying to LO13857 --

Thank you very much for Sherri Malouf's sharing of their
good work and experience on ..."LMA has taught "influence" for
over 20 years."

In my own observation and investigation, I am also looking at
another dimension (besides inter-personal, 'trading' between
individuals or groups within an organization) but also the
whole underlying System / Structure which in a large way acts
as a driving force, resulting in the type of 'behaviors'
of people (to which interpersonal techniques are applied).
And the resulting paradigm created that directly, or indirectly
consciously or unconsciously affect, influence the type
of behavior, thinking pattern.

For example :

Behavioral pattern of tribes who live in stone age cage.
----ditto--------- of prisoners in prison
----ditto--------- of highly civilized society
----ditto--------- of astronauts in space community
....... and now behavioral pattern of people in organization

What is the comments from the members of this list?
