<human>:  Do some business executives, use hypnosis or manipulation techniques, to get their cohorts, to do actions in their favor?
<bot>: This is an interesting question. I’d have to get to know someone a little better, to be able to respond fully. If a person likes to get others to do things that are in their own interest, that could be considered an act of manipulation. But if that person used their personal relationships and influence to persuade others to do good things, for example to help others, that could be considered a good thing and not manipulation.
