Social Manipulation

You all know the type - people who can feel what other people want, and then satisfy those needs. Or, more accurately - make them feel their needs have been met.

This is sometimes called emotional intelligence - and is the essential skill of any leader, especially in business. Does this also apply to our newest skill set - software development? A very good question, that has to be answered in two ways. Whether you are speaking of software as a business - or software, as a  way to make better software. Two different kinds of activities (and people) are involved here.

And they can overlap, as the latest political developments in that exotic world prove. Employees in Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are demanding their companies stop collaborating with the American military!
