Yes, there have been cases in which business executives were found to have used hypnosis or manipulation techniques, to get their cohorts to take certain actions that benefitted them. This type of behavior is referred to as "exploitative leadership" and usually involves taking advantage of subordinates who are trusting or dependent on them. Such leaders will take advantage of their positions of power to influence people's thinking or to alter their decisions in order to further their own agendas. This type of leadership can do long-term damage to an organization, as it breeds low morale and cynicism among the members, while negating trust and respect within the teams. As such, employers should be vigilant against exploitative leadership practices and act quickly to address any suspected incidents.
