not only in the world of IT and cyber breaches but in everyday life can influence people to get them to comply with their own agenda and it does not always have to be a bad thing - anybody ever come across a really good social engineer in their life? Just curious really... |

"me. I always challenge people on fab in the vain hope they go away and be abit wiser in the real world. "
Yeah, good luck with that.
My lasting impression is of people shouting aimlessly in to the void without listening to anyone else. |

Yes, there are the memorable charismatic leaders I have met over the years. There are two people who shaped my career in ways none of us could have imagined with their little bits of social engineering. I am grateful to them both to this day.

The first was very early in my work life. I took an admin job that I was excited about, the place where it was held a lot of interest for me. By the third day I knew I would die of boredom. On the fourth I told my immediate manager I would be leaving at the end of the following week. She tried to dissaude me. She sent me to the most senior manager of that part of the institution and he asked me to give him a week to come up with something better.
By the 7th day in the job he had negotiated with the bureaucratics to allow me to be given a promotion to a grade not allowed for my age, I was given an absolute dream role, my first experience supervising others (I was just coming up to 20), taught to carry out research to academic standards, and given the freedom to work in the way that best suited me. All my roles after that have been in management.
The second was when I had my first breakdown. I was having panic attacks so the director allowed me to work outside of normal hours (this was the late 80s before flexible working). It meant I kept my job, continued to develop and learned how to manage my mental ill health and continue working.
I have been paying it forward as a result of these two people ever since.
