Causing others to think and act is a fundamental responsibility of leadership.
Some choose to engage in those causative acts through manipulation, others through influence.
Consider this continuum (with sum corollary descriptors):
Manipulation <<<<< ----- >>>>> Influence
Reductionist <<<<< ------------------ >>>>> Holistic
Fixed Mindset <<<<< ----- >>>>> Growth Mindset
Secretive <<<<< ------------- >>>>> Full Disclosure
Exclusive <<<<< --------------------- >>>>> Inclusive
Egotism <<<<< ----------------- >>>>> Stewardship
The motive of the agent is at play along every level. As is the anticipated number of "winners" and "losers."
You can probably guess when end of that continuum I prefer.
