Motivation A Life / / December 19, 2019
In the history of the world are not uncommon formidable authoritarian rulers. Despite the large number of negative qualities, they certainly achieved everything he wanted. This is what you can learn from them, despite their malignant nature. They knew the subtleties psychology of communication which we want to tell you.
Dictators are manipulated by people with a weak will get rid of close friends and say so incendiary speech that can convince people to do anything. Here are 6 noteworthy practices (both good and not so) how dictators cope with one problem or another. So what should you do to achieve the desired:
Influence the will of the people and force them to make tough decisions
Working fatigue or anguish from the inability to take a decision affecting the quality of this decision. This dictator knows how to use it.
Cuban dictator Fidel Castro liked to meet at 4 in the morning, when he often raised people right out of bed, putting them at the same time at a disadvantage. Domestic authoritarian ruler Joseph Stalin also used this tactic; even meeting with Winston Churchill on drawing up the plan of attack on Germany was organized late at night.
How to use it ► In both cases, the idea is to catch your enemy (or ally) by surprise when their willpower is weak, and they are willing to do anything to cooperate with you. But do not forget that anguish over the decision does exist and absolutely anyone can easily use them for completely different purposes. If possible, avoid too early meetings with your boss (or, at least, give yourself plenty of time to wake up early).
Be "five years' own purposes
With the submission of Joseph Stalin was formed in the Soviet Union a five-year plan with a view to the rapid industrialization of the state, reducing unemployment, the general economic and social development. Moreover, the five-year period have adopted the idea of countries such as the People's Republic of China, Cuba, Pakistan, Vietnam and many others.
How to use it ► For sure your plan is less ambitious than most dictators, but the idea of its preparation in itself is good. In fact, we are talking about the formation of the financial plan for the next five years. Or, in other words, you should be clear about how you see yourself in 5 years.
In order to understand what you want and how to achieve it, make a short list of answers to questions like:
• What will you work?
• What you will have a family?
• How will you look externally?
• What you will have a house?
• What will be your working day?
• What are you going to miss?
• What will be your social circle?
Try to write a minimum of 10 responses to each of the questions that describe how you would like to see your life in five years.
use board planning or special program-assistant. Planning for the long term - is a great way to find out what you really want, and how you can get it. After all correctly The task - half the success.
Get rid of what is threatening your power
In order to keep power in the hands of dictators often have to get rid of the possible threats to it. In particular, the removal of close friends and advisers, when they are chosen too close to you, and you feel that they pose a threat to your power. At this point, those who are outside the circle begin to fight for power and attention, while the inner circle begins to put pressure on you.
Almost every dictator uses this tactic to varying degrees, but especially it succeeded Fidel Castro and President of Peru Alberto Fujimori. Fujimori became famous that he organized a coup d'etat in 1992: closed the Congress, He suspended the Constitution and get rid of the judicial system - and thus was able to get unlimited power.
The rule reads as follows: "Keep yourself around a narrow range of the coalition. The smaller, the better. "Fidel Castro knew about it. After the successful revolution in Cuba, 12 of the 20 ministers resigned (or were expelled). Among them was a friend of Castro - Ernesto Che Guevara. Castro sent Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967 for a special mission, and then cut it funding and left in a quandary, and all because Castro looked like Che potential threat.
How to use it ► If someone infringes on your power, the easiest way to deal with this - to get rid of the object. Be careful and watch out for those who have views on your site. If you look at it this way - if you want to move up in the ranks, - you have to be extremely sensitive to the fact, in whose place you are applying for. So that this man did not feel the threat coming from you. In addition, you can try to get rid of it before it is up to you. But such a scheme is much more risky and does not shine courtesy.
Create a "cult of personality"
So-called "Cult of personality"- this is a common trick dictatorial. The idea is to exalt themselves and to see how the most amazing thing that can be. To achieve this, dictators become ridiculous habit, spread their image across the country, or even invent a nickname.
The most famous example of manifestation of the cult of personality - North Korean ruler Kim Jong Il, the great leader of North Korea. The cult of Kim Jong-il was so powerful that even the people sincerely believed that Jong Il could control the weather, the power of his thoughts.
This is a fairly common practice among authoritarian rulers. Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu assumed the title of "Genius of the Carpathians" (* Approx. Author: as well as the "full-flowing Danube Mind", "creator of an unprecedented era of renewal")And Italian ruler Mussolini allowed to shoot itself only with certain angles in order to appear taller. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in his "Amazonian Guard" hired bodyguards only female, and Cambodian dictator Pol Pot never allowed themselves to be photographed.
How to use it ► Of course, your personality cult is not likely to grow to such large sizes as dictators, but the very ability to capture the attention and monitor the situation in handy in life. For example, in such a case, as the search for work. Blatant self-promotion during the interview - it's not such a bad thing.
Today is considered to be more important to establish and maintain their own Internet uniqueness, which is sort of a kind of cult of personality. If you control what others see, you can control their perception of themselves and seem to others much better than you really are.
To make a clear and powerful speech
It is believed that the Chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler was one of the best speakers in the history of the existence of dictators. Before Hitler came to power, public performances were highly intelligent, complex, reminiscent of a lot of reading, rather than lecture. Speeches of Adolf Hitler, on the other hand, were very excited, emotional, full of slogans.
Hitler received most of his oratorical success, telling the audience what they wanted to hear. He used simple language understandable to the people, using short sentences and powerful emotional slogans. Often began his speech calmly, thus attracting the attention of the audience, gradually increase the pace and have already switched to shout and gesticulate actively in the final. He exuded absolute confidence, aggression, belief in endless celebration of his party and in fate.
However, all the speeches of Hitler largely confined to rhetoric and absolution. But despite the fact that their content was awful, the German dictator forced the audience to agree with him - even when he openly called them fools. Hitler used special tricks to persuade people to his side: propaganda to the emotions rather than to reason and logic, technique, "or... or" (making it easier to all of the "black or white"), the endless repetition.
How to use it ► Hitler was a meticulous editor of his speeches: he presents them in clear language that everyone could understand. Keep this in mind when spending a presentation at work, raise the morale of workers after a hard day's work or simply bring another argument in its favor. Simplify your speech, give it more emotion patiently accumulate stuff and you get an audience accustomed to eat with the hands.
Learn by doing, rather than books
The most powerful and long rulers adhere to the proverb "It is afraid of the master." At some point, they threw themselves on the "front line" in order to gain experience. For example, Julius Caesar fought on the front with the soldiers slept on the same bed, like everyone else, and checked in their own skin quote: "Experience-best teacher."
Napoleon Bonaparte was doing the same thing - surely played his professional military service during the period of the French Revolution - before became a full-fledged dictator. Vladimir Lenin was very well read, but spent all his spare time practicing writing leaflets and talking to people. Mao Zedong went on and used his peasant upbringing, not only as an excuse to not wash (* Approx. author: Mao months without brushing my teeth or wash the whole body, only concubines wiped his body with wet towels)But also to win the trust and gain control over the peasants.
How to use it ► To do the job well, a number of books read is not enough. Much more important to have your own experience under his belt. New skills are very useful. Ultimately, the real practice will be useful to you, so that you can become even better.
The labor market experience is valued much higher than any degree and books. If you have been trained, then you have experience, but no well-developed skill - you automatically become a better candidate for the job.
