Unit 1Oddly enough, influential people may be more recognition-deprived than less influential people. This is because many people are hesitant to offer a compliment to those in power for fear of being accused of playing office politics or being sycophantic.说来也怪，有势力的人可能会比势力小的人更容易被认知剥夺。这是因为很多人害怕被指责玩办公室政治或阿谀奉承者，所以不愿意去恭维权势。The insecurity that many people feel contributes to the effectiveness of flattery. These people would like to think they are doing their job well, being a good family person, or making a contribution in community service.

Flatter a person with lurking insecurity and you have drawn that person toward you.Can you remember a time when you felt insecure while performing a new job?
