48 Laws of Power...Continued

LAW 14

POSE AS A FRIEND, WORK AS A SPY

Knowing about your competition is critical.  Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead of them.  Better yet: Play the spy yourself.  In polite social encounters, learn to probe.  Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions.  There is no occasion that is not an opportunity for artful spying.
