Divert Attention Using Eye Contact
To avoid being called upon in class or meetings, maintain eye contact with the speaker until they finish their question or statement. Immediately after, shift your gaze to someone else in the room. This signals that others are available to respond, reducing the likelihood of you being singled out. This allows you to participate at your own pace without feeling pressured.
The Sneaky Trick to Win
The sneaky trick to win involves hiding information and misleading people about your efforts. For example, the smart kid who claims they didn't study much but still tops the class. By downplaying your efforts, you create a misleading impression, catching people off guard when you succeed. This tactic involves distracting others with claims of not studying while secretly putting in the effort.
Navigating Powerful Group Leaders
When encountering a powerful group leader, don't confront them or be submissive. Instead, subtly draw closer without revealing your intentions. Find ways to be indispensable without seeking attention, and occasionally display your value subtly. Inject light humor into interactions. Over time, the leader may perceive you as a friend and value your presence, establishing mutual respect and eliminating threats. This strategy allows you to navigate power dynamics without direct confrontation, fostering harmonious relationships.
