I'm not sure Obama has done anything brilliant yet. That remains to be seen. He doesn't do that well in non-scripted environments (like debates). Like Hitler or any other madness of crowds movement, Obama sure has everyone stirred up. Maybe that's good. Maybe it will make a difference.
Obama is definitely linked with the word "change". In that regard you are absolutely right. I laughed at SNL last night because the opening skit had Obama telling everyone that the campaign was like the courtship and now comes the marriage.
Sorry I didn't have much relevant to your post to offer. Must be Super Bowl Sunday brain dead syndrome.
P.S. Hitler, Stalin, Mao all "changed" things. I just hope it changes for the better this time.

Obama hasn't done anything brilliant as far as that "change" he's promised us, but then again, any change in the economy takes an average of 6 months to notice. Obama HAS done something brilliant as far as getting elected. If you take a look at his speeches, infomercials, etc. he uses a mountain of persuasive communication.

I agree. I was expecting a lot more concrete actions since he had 2 months to prepare for his actions. Anyone can get elected by persuasion but to make moves that will really bring about change in real world politics is completely different. An example was the voting on the bailout bill which had no support from republicans. The reaching across lines has just not happened. And again not everything may be to his blame but the ability and propensity to now persuade does not show with the same passion.

over promise, under deliver, something MANY people unfortunately do. However, like I stated above, it takes an average of 6 months to see change, so we can only wait and see what happens.

This is great AJ.
I have heard about comparisons between Obama and Hitler but never really took the time to read much into it.
Thanks for posting this article, this just goes to show you how people can be persuaded to believe whatever they want and follow like a herd of sheep.

Leadership inherently involves persuasion and creating followers. Now with that power comes responsibility and ethics. If those do not then evil can emerge.

Time is always present. Situation varies. Recession is a situation existing within a frame of Time.

I believe : God is the writer/director. I/you an actor. He selects whom he want to be leader and whom the follower. :)
AJ Kumar

That is a whole other debate Hobo :) I know too many people, religious or not, that believe that the power is within. YOU choose wither or not you want to be a leader or a follower. There is no "natural" to this, you create it and make it happen.

Very good concept of anchored communication explained in detail. The comparison may be diabolical but the concept also needs examples that you validly mention.

Persuasive communication contains amazing techniques. Unfortunately, when placed in the wrong hands, it can lead to deceit and destruction.

My dad used "anchoring" as a way to communicate to me and my sister when we were younger. When his eye were wide open (deer caught in head lights), that usually meant trouble. Eventually we anchored his anchoring by using high voltage spot lights. Without his eyes wide open, his power of anger was diminished.... but, for how long.

must be honest.... comparing these two looks off to me... persuasion examples are all over - how come you hit these two?
AJ Kumar
· 10 months ago
I understand where your coming from. I chose these two because they are from 2 end of the spectrum. One creating good and one who created evil. Again, I don't compare them to have any similarities other than their power of persuasion.

I partially agree with your thought .. the other great example would be Stalin ... his persuasive communication was fear tactic... he become a father of russian nation during the poorest and tragic years of war and horror.... using his cruel array against millions of tormented souls.... but hey.. it was that time and era... not every bright mind ended up in Gulag... some of them found the way out of it....
Obama still a green apple that need to ripe but he will never arrive to the world market as a unique fruit .....
AJ Kumar

Interesting. I'm curious, what do you not agree on? Obama may or may not ever be the "unique fruit" you refer to, but he did present VERY powerful communication which did eventually bring him to lead the free world.
Silvia

Sorry,let me join your discussion and express my opinion. I think Obama is the unique fruit from different points of view. He represents the other time,the other mentality,nation,level of democracy and etc.Besides the situation in which Obama rules the country is unique as well. So I'd call him the unique fruit being onthe unique market with its unique taste/his powerful communication.
AJ Kumar

He is quite a unique individual. And very persuasive I might add ;)

FIRST, ALLOW ME TO ASK YOU A QUESTION, DID YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA? CHANCES ARE, YOUR GONNA SAY...HELL NO!! WHICH EXPLANS WHY YOU MENTION THIS BULL-SHIT STATEMENT THAT OBAMA AND HITLER HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON. AND THE REASON WHY YOU DIDNT VOTE FOR HIM, IS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN. SO.....NOW YOU ARE HATING. DONT HATE THE PLAYER BOSS, HATE THE GAME. HE DID IT, AND YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO SUCK IT UP, AND DEAL WITH IT. SO STOP CRYING LIL BABY.
AJ Kumar

I did vote for Obama :)
In fact, I was monitoring and supporting him since the beginning. What they have in common is what all leaders have in common, persuasive communication.

Change? Thats your whole example of the anchor? I guess, given this is a blog on persuasion, I kinda expected ... well... more persuasive argument. Basically, by that definition, Any politician in any expensive campaign is gonna have "anchors" they're called campaign slogans bumper stickers, buttons.
Persuasion goes much deeper than that. What about when subliminal and hypnotic imagery and mantra like chanting are used to push the unknowing publics fear buttons. this could obviously become a much longer more in dept post. I was particularly amazed by how much effort and messaging was found in this official campaign video. just freeze framing showed what the campaign was REALLY up to stirring. check it out.
I'm glad you caught that, but you have to understand, that most people who read this won't understand all the hypnotic/persuasion mumbo jumbo. My objective with this post was simply to show a list of the best persuasive communicators ;) It did so well that Tony Robbins actually read it and retweeted it to his 700,000 followers
However you are right, there is a lot more in depth about the NLP Obama uses. There was some 40+ report created all about it. I cover a pretty interesting anchor Hitler used: http://www.persuasive.net/what-do-hitler-and-ob...

hitler, obama. i see it. those are certainly the only two people in the history of the human race to have learned basic oratory.
i guess to a limbaugh twat, the ability to form complete sentences MUST seem like some sort of black magic.
