The most dangerous man in the room isn't the one giving orders. It's the one making everyone believe the decision was theirs.
In 1924, powerful men thought they had Thomas Shelby exactly where they wanted him. They gave him the job. They gave him the rules. They even gave him a jewel.
What they didn't realise was that while they were busy moving him, Shelby was quietly moving everyone else.
In Part 4 of The Tommy Shelby Masterclass, Shelby speaks in his own voice about the invisible side of power: 5 influence techniques that move people without them noticing they're being moved.
Not cheap manipulation. Strategy — for negotiation, persuasion, leadership, office politics, selling an idea and winning the meeting before anyone realises there was a fight.
You'll learn why giving first can create a psychological debt, why people defend ideas harder when they believe they invented them, how being underestimated can become an advantage, why asking for a small favour can change how someone sees you — and how the human brain can miss something enormous when its attention is pointed somewhere else.
The psychology behind these lessons draws on real research into reciprocity, self-persuasion, the Ben Franklin effect, commitment and consistency, and inattentional blindness.
★ “While every man watched the deal, I quietly took the house.”
If you've ever tried to convince someone who didn't want to be convinced — a client, a boss, an investor, a colleague — stop pushing harder.
Learn how to arrange the room so the other person walks exactly where you wanted them to go.
And believes it was their idea.
