To not add clutter to the thread on a vision for the forum, I will also think about it!
I didn't expect so much detail to be written down at first thought!

Sounds very interesting and thought-provoking.

I'm reading the new psychology of leadership, and lots of questions/ideas sprang to mind.
Like how it relates to your new principles on dominance and coercion in leadership.
Of course, thanks to your recommendation on the book.

The interesting thing about this forum is that the discussions lead to meta-discussions.
And we can apply what we discuss to the forum itself.

Thank you for launching the idea, Matthew.

If anything else comes up on your end let me/us know.
And also if any new question or insight on the dominance/coercion and leadership, eager to read.

Hi Lucio,

I wanted to thank you for your advice on my situation in the private discussion.
I feel quite mentally affected by that situation.
So your advice helped a lot in clearing things up.

I think I tend to assume taking the initiative is always a good thing.
The mentality of it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

But, like in the corporate world, new ideas always encounter resistance because of the nature of influencing and persuasion having power in itself.

Thank you for your detailed thoughts on Feedback & Clarifications.

Thank you for the note, Matthew.

You know my approach to this: no pressure to do anything, and only do so only when and if you want to, and when you feel like.
So take care of your things first and best wishes with them.

I have been reading the forums here since many days and I have to say I have learnt many things as in how to handle difficult situations, how to tackle remarks from people delivered from a judge role or in a value taking way.

I hope I am bringing enough value to the forums by giving different examples of situations which I have encountered so that everyone who reads these forums gets to learn along with me.

I will continue to be a member of this forum.

Thanks

The video you showed about the guy stealing the other guy's girlfriend was really interesting.

I think it's eye-opening to what can happen if you are not power-aware.

I personally have benefitted from your posts and discussions.
Also thanks for summarising the social blunders on a thread.
