âBreaking the mirrorâ is a term used to describe how lawyers intentionally disrupt the psychological connection, or rapport, with a witness on the stand. That disconnect is also called antipathy. During questioning, attorneys may initially mirror the witnessâs tone, energy, rate, and body language to connect and build trust but then strategically break that alignment to create discomfort. This shift is particularly effective in creating pressure and undermining a witnessâs confidence.

Obligation has been used as a persuasive technique since the beginning of time. We see companies offering free downloads, free estimates, or gifts in the hope of opening the door to persuasion. The Law of Obligation, also known as pre-giving or reciprocity, states that when others do something for us, we feel a strong need, or urge, to return the favor.
Returning the favor rids us of the obligation created by the first good deed. The adage "one good turn deserves another" is a part of social conditioning in every culture. And, even beyond that, the maxim serves as an ethical code that does not necessarily need to be taught, but is understood.

I was reading this great article in Harvard Business Review, which focuses on how we CANâT recognize our weaknesses. The other challenge is that most people feel responsible for their successes (internal), and external factors are the cause of their failures.
Leaders and managers today must be more aware of othersâ needs due to the challenges of a global pandemic, a fragile economy, and social unrest. Many workplace challenges stem not from bad intentions but from leaders' lack of awareness of how their actions affect others. Self-awareness in leadership/management is crucial.
