Learn How To Use Your Enemies - Robert Greene

I'm talking about in the Work World when you're out in the social realm and one of the worst things that people do is you have a job and I've been guilty of it myself even after I wrote the damn book you're out in the work world and you need to hire somebody you need to find a colleague you need to find some a partner or an employee your mind naturally gravitates towards a friend right because they know you you trust them you have a relationship you know and feel comfortable with them and it's a terrible mistake so many of the worst things have happened in history are because of that very problem because friends it there's all these emotions involved between people right and those emotions confuse the issue so what I'm talking about in that law is when you need to get results you need to think when you have a job or something you have to think in Practical terms not in terms of emotions not in terms of friendship etc etc so you want to keep your work world separate it's not everything about life is having to be friends and having nice things and everybody like you sometimes what matters is getting results done and sometimes the best person to work with isn't your friend because they don't have all this other stuff that we're talking about in fact a very powerful move is if there's an enemy out there somebody who you never got along with if you say if you approach them and say let's bury the hatchet you know I have a job and I'd really like you to work with me I know you're really smart that per the turnaround of emotions is a very powerful thing where they're going wow yeah sure that's that's great I never expected that and they're they're highly motivated to now prove they're worthy of of your of your change of mind so it's not about not trusting your friends in the realm of friendship and personal relationships it's about being aware that the work world is different from the realm of personal [Music] relationships
