We are more jaded about advertising, more suspicious of political claims, and less trusting of others in general. Second, organizations build barriers to change. Change entails risk, and risk conflicts with the desire for control and predictability. And third, many people are just not skilled at the art of persuading. No matter how brilliant the idea, it’ll go nowhere unless you get others to go along with it. The truth is, we’re all involved in persuasion of some sort everyday.
