Some ways to manipulate people easily are to: 

- Create an atmosphere of fear and anxiety by constantly issuing threats or criticizing people. 
- Take advantage of people’s fears and uncertainties by painting bleak pictures of the future and blaming them for current circumstances. 
- Create an aura of success and accomplishment by exaggerating your past accomplishments. 
- Play on people’s empathy and suggest that you’re “the underdog” when in reality, you are in a position of power.
- Act like an expert by claiming knowledge in areas that you know nothing about to make others question their own intelligence. 
- Speak with a calm, authoritative voice and remain composed under any situation. 
- Push people's hot buttons by finding out what frustrates and irritates them and using it against them to make them behave. 
- Flattery will get you everywhere. Compliments are extremely powerful when used properly. Use them to your advantage.
