From the ancient Greeks to modern day office politics, nodding has been used as a means to feign agreement, sow discord, and gain leverage. It's a subtle art, but one that requires finesse and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Learn the subtleties of the "nod of interest" (the slight tilt of the head) and the "nod of feigned understanding" (the full-on, unwavering nod with a hint of fake enthusiasm). Master the art of nodding while your mind is elsewhere, and you'll be the office saboteur of your dreams.
Read about real-life examples of how nodding has been used to undermine authority, sabotage team projects, and ruin relationships. Learn from the masters, but don't try this at home (or in the office).
