Harassment in the workplace is a delicate subject to deal with. Moreover, company management and, more generally, all the social actors concerned, seem helpless when accusations of harassment emerge. Most often, it is panic, giving rise to inertia or, on the contrary, to escalation.

we need to distinguish between two concepts: the influence you're talking about and manipulation. Obviously, in social life, in business, we try to get others to do things they wouldn't do spontaneously. To do this, we use influence, we try to convince, we share our vision, we engage in dialogue. The fundamental difference between the two is respect for the other. The manipulator acts as if the other doesn't exist, while the influencer gives the other free will.
