This video excerpt reveals two psychological tactics to influence others to do work for you. The first tactic, "Ask for advice, not help," suggests framing requests as seeking guidance rather than direct assistance. By asking questions like "What would you do in this situation?", you leverage people's desire to feel intelligent and helpful, often leading them to volunteer their expertise and effectively complete the task for you. The second tactic, "Play dumb," involves feigning ignorance or confusion about a task. The premise is that many individuals would prefer to simply perform the task themselves rather than repeatedly explain it, thus getting the work done with minimal effort from your side. The excerpt humorously references "House of Cards" to emphasize the potential consequences of not understanding or adapting to such manipulative strategies.

Here's how to make anyone work for you without you even realizing it.

One, ask for advice, not help, for example. Say, "What would you do in this situation?" Boom. They just gave you the game plan and volunteered. People love to feel smart. Ask for their opinion and watch them do the work for you.

Two, play dumb. Stay golden. Act like you don't get it. Most people would rather just do it for you than explain it twice. If you are not following the House of Cards, you may never see us again.
