I was listening to ex-Navy Seal Jocko Willink talk about leadership a few days ago.

In the talk he shared some unethical ways of controlling people. https://youtu.be/qcEiBIuJ5xg?si=cAy6SyJq8hSjJEij

Four things:

1. Enforcing sleep deprivation

2. Isolation from friends and family

3. Inducing guilt

4. Hero Syndrome manipulation.

As I listened I started to think of the biographies I have read, my clients and my own experience of boarding school.

Today I share some stories of King Charles, some words of psychiatrist, Dr Judith Herman, and Nick Duffell among others.
