Really? I found quite the opposite to be true. Once we had drinks with our manager discussing our lives in general and it gave him a much better understanding of how we approach things generally in life and he was able to get so much more out of us , not my manipulating, but rather by being straight forward about the way we think and how we can open our minds to various opinions. Of course he did'nt have to do it, and of course the wrong person could have taken advantage (like by manipulating) but being a great manager as he is, it definitely boosted the team productivity and cohesion
