Coalition Formation Manipulation
Quietly assembling factions to outvote or isolate a decision-maker; the vote looks like consensus and is engineered.
An everyday example
A vendor who lines up your team's support one by one before the meeting where you are asked to approve.
What it can cost you
Facing a pre-built majority; being recruited into one without knowing its purpose.
Warning signs
- Everyone seemed briefed except me.
- I was recruited to a position before I understood it.
One thing to do
Ask who has already been spoken to and what was promised; take positions in writing before group meetings.
