About this series
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER . . . BUT NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO SHARE
Knowledge is power . . . particularly in organizations and teams where your success depends in large part on career-savvy subtle communication skills and other people skills at work–particularly your ability to ferret out semi-hidden information, and to discern the deeper reality behind situations and events taking place around you.
It’s easy enough to ask questions, and most of the time most of the people will do their best to share the truth. But not always. Sometimes, if you play it straight and ask direct questions, you won’t get straight answers, and you won’t get to the truth–instead, you’ll get distortion, “spin” and responses that are somewhat less than the whole truth.
Sometimes simply to ask a question is to give the game away because it alerts the other person to what you’re really after, and hence flags what they may want to fudge, avoid, or distort.
WHAT IS “MENTAL PICKPOCKETING”?
In those situations, how do you get information–and get the truth–without flagging what you’re really after? By employing mental pickpocketing– the art and science of asking questions without seeming to ask, or without seeming to ask what you’re really after
