MANAGE THE COURSE OF EVENTS: THE STRATEGY OF FORCING
(Fifteenth stratagem)

People always try to control you — to force you to act in their interests, to manage events at their own discretion. The only way to deal with this is to outplay them in this power struggle, to be smarter and more inventive. But does it worth to outplay the opponent at every stage? Instead, do a better job - shift the conflict to a ground suitable for you, impose tempo and rhythm that is convenient for you. Maneuver to control the enemy's mind, press the right buttons to trigger certain emotions, and make the enemy make mistakes. If necessary, let him believe that he is directing the course of events — this will relax him and reduce his vigilance. If you exercise overall control, determining the main direction and structure of the fight, you will be able to turn any tricks of the opponent to your advantage.
