Key Tactics to Counter Manipulative Communication Within the C-Suite

Executive leaders facing tough strategic decisions may unintentionally resort to manipulation to influence their peers. While this tactic may yield short-term gains, the long-term consequences can be significant, leading to distorted truth, weakened trust and collaboration and poorer decision making. Without a proper decision-making framework, a significant percentage of C-suite executives defer to the CEO, use outdated approaches or rely on intuition rather than data for internal judgments. Additionally, a notable portion of CxOs do not consider a solid financial business case essential for securing project funding.
