Bad Tempers
Sun Tzu said, “If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak that he may grow arrogant.”
Have you ever had a continually frustrated boss. They are easy to irritate. If you want to get rid of that irritable boss, find clever ways to irritate them more. Then, pretend that you don't know what is going on and praise your boss for doing a great job. The bosses arrogance and irritation will lead to their downfall.
In competition amongst companies, if your competitor is hyper sensitive, seek ways to make them more irritated. For example, you might pretend you have a new technology that will put their product obsolete. This would irritate them and frustrate them. Then, you might appear to be a weak competitor. If the competitor grows arrogant, they may make some pretty dumb mistakes based on the idea that you are weak and that they can usurp your bogus technological breakthrough. In the end, you may be able to send them down the wrong path while you were on the right path the whole time.
