In this SHOW, we discuss some concepts that might shock you: We are hard wired to obey to a horrifying degree. Chase discusses all the details, and the five triggers that enable obedience in humans. ​

• Why authority is a weightier force for influence than any social skill in the book.
• What you can do to bolster your own authority — and resist manipulation by the authority of others.
• The five factors that measure your ability to persuade and influence on a level that surpasses mere inspiration.
• Why your patterns of behavior that happen even when no one is looking can make or break your life’s outcomes.
• Top authority killers and how to avoid them.
• And much more…

​Listen to this episode in its entirety to learn more about how Chase went from being a teenager with social anxiety to the top behavior profiler in the United States, numerous studies supporting the very human desire to appease authority (even at the expense of other survival mechanisms), the tripwires in our brains that trigger obedient behavior and identify someone as an authority, how the way we behave even when we’re not being watched has an effect on everything we do, how we can assess and increase where we stand authoritatively, why most of us could go for a surgical removal of our filler vocabulary to be seen as authorities, and much more.

​Following a vision and the leadership of Admiral Owen Siler, a former U.S. Coast Guard Commandant, the National Maritime Law Enforcement Academy (NMLEA) was established in 2000 to fill a capabilities gap that continues to effect law enforcement and emergency response operations on the water all across America. The NMLEA (and the International Maritime Law Enforcement Academy or IMLEA) provides education, training, exercises, consultation and resources for law enforcement personnel, emergency responders and public safety professionals, as well as for the critical infrastructure industries located on or near the maritime environment.

Ellipsis is the Nation's leading provider of cutting-edge behavior skills designed to save lives. The NMLEA now offers our courses as a critical officer safety tool. Our Tactical Behavior Science course is 100% guaranteed to be the most advanced on planet Earth.

Chase Hughes literally wrote the book on tactical interrogation and behavior science — The Ellipsis Manual: Analysis and Engineering of Human Behavior — because everything he found on the subject was fragmented over multiple sources.

But the fact there had been no full-scale manual for use in the field up to this point is symptomatic of a larger negligence in the academic world. While there have been numerous studies proving the majority of information we convey to one another is done nonverbally, the importance of this revelation seems largely ignored by that world.

“I think the average psychotherapist or social worker goes through years and years of training,” says Chase. “And out of all of that, they get maybe a half hour on body language — and that’s a psychotherapist with a graduate degree. And then these are the same guys who are going out there producing studies that say [nonverbal communication makes up] two thirds or some odd number of communication — and then nothing changes in the academic perspective.”

Luckily, Chase and his team at Ellipsis Behavior Laboratories are trying to pick up the slack and expand that perspective. Currently, they’re focused on developing programs to pull the curtain back on how vulnerable the human brain is to ‘hacking’ and show (through profiling training) how vulnerable we — and the people around us — really are.

Chase hasn’t always been a model student (he tells us his parents would take him out to dinner when he’d pass a class with a C grade), but maybe it’s because nonverbal communication wasn’t a course he could pursue in school. But as soon as he found out about it, a whole, fascinating world he hadn’t known opened up to him.

“I was hooked,” says Chase. “It seemed like I was seeing…there’s something that’s been there all my life. All of this nonverbal communication has been hidden and nobody talked about it. I never knew that it was important. Once I started getting good at it, I realized you really can kind of see behind people’s masks just by reading body language.”

What would it mean for your life or business if you had the influencing skills to connect more deeply with people, close more deals, and create the kind of trust that fuels long-term interactions? It’s not easy to do, but it’s possible — and on this episode of Leverage Chase Hughes of Ellipsis Behavior provides insight into how we can break through the social masks to expose every person we meet (in a good way). This is a fascinating conversation and Chase shares free resources you can use to understand people better, so be sure you take the time to listen.

Influencing skills can be learned, but won’t be effective unless you are mature within yourself.
Chase Hughes says that many times a person comes to him to learn influencing skills because of an important meeting or negotiation on their calendar. They want him to teach them how to influence people and win them over, but it doesn’t take long before Chase gathers that they are so undisciplined personally that they don’t even make their own bed consistently. What he’s pointing out is that a person who is able to influence others effectively is a person who is self-disciplined. It’s not about the bed being made, it’s about the order and self-control needed to take on challenges — both mundane and high-stakes — and do what it takes to win. This is an example of the incredible insights into human behavior Chase has, and this conversation serves to show what you can do by learning how to lead and influence more effectively.

It’s vital to know the difference between real authority and perceived authority.
There have been fascinating experiments over the years that have shown how one aspect of how we are wired as humans is to respond with deference to authority figures, even if the people in question are not real authorities but are only perceived that way by us. In this episode, Chase Hughes talks about what it takes to be a true authority and what it takes to overcome your own propensity to defer to those you perceive as authorities who really have no right or place to dictate any part of your life. You’ll be fascinated by what he has to share.

Don’t ask what people on your team are good at. What do they want to be SEEN as good at?
During this conversation, Chase Hughes brought up the common team-building advice you hear that you need to put the right person in the right slot within your team. That’s true, but his definition of how you accomplish that is far different than what the so-called gurus are saying. In his study, it’s become apparent that you don’t necessarily need to ensure that the person most skilled at a task is placed in that role. Instead, you need to find out what the person being considered wants to be SEEN as being proficient at. If you can place them in roles that fit that desire you’ll find them to be a motivated achiever in that position — much more so than the person who already has the skills to do the job. You can hear more insights like this from Chase, on this episode of Leverage.

Focus on human needs to be more effective.
When Ari asked his guest, Chase Hughes, for 3 tips to help listeners be more effective, Chase said it’s important to focus on human needs. When you are able to identify the real human needs in any interaction — be it a relationship, a product development meeting, a sales presentation, etc. — you’ll be able to identify the real issues at the core of the conversation. Those are the things you want to focus on because true effectiveness hinges on their resolution. Chase and his organization are doing some amazing things to help their clients develop greater influencing skills, understand and build stronger teams, and much more, so don’t miss out on what he shares on this episode.

​

Dominance / ambition 
Discipline

When we interact with authority we go through an “agentic” shift - our brain shifts responsibility for our own actions onto the person who instructed us to do it - you can make people take extreme behaviors if you get them to give YOU responsibility for their actions

• Master yourself first before you can influence others
• Master environment first
• Master your time - keeping a plan and sticking to it
• Master the mechanics of your habits
• Master your attention span
• Tactics for mastering authority today
• Express genuine interest in other people and make them feel INTERESTING not interested
• Remember the phrase - LEADERSHIP through SUPPORT
• The people who think they are alpha males are usually NOT the alpha male - big dogs don’t feel the need to bark
• The Columbo method - make deliberate social errors, be vulnerable, start with an insecurity - that helps open people up to influence

Chase offers a challenge to you - Talk to a stranger every single day. And once that gets easy, you have to push out your comfort zone even further.

There’s no vaccination to being socially vulnerable - if you become socially invulnerable it makes you a nasty person - it diminishes your ability to connect with others and takes away your ability to feel empathy and anxiety for others. 

• Be completely real with your self, and with others, as it can help build more genuine connections 
• Trying to manage your own behavior and body language really starts to suck up alot of your own “CPU power” and Chase doesn't recommend it 
• How you can watch a video of an interview or interrogation - using this special tool - and decode the behavior and determine
