Forceful compliance can’t be depended on, says Ryan Anderson, the president at Markiserv, a graphic design agency, “because it is not being derived from true bonding or connection, but generally out of fear, pressure or conflict avoidance.”

Future issues should be expected.

“This tailwinds further down the line in the relationship that will impact how the individual you had a conflict with perceives, interacts and trusts you,” Anderson says.

The risks are greater than leaders might foresee.

“Generally, unless there is true trust or bonding, compliance under malicious intent will be to save face, and that specific individual will generally not be one to rely upon in high pressure situations, or when there are other options for that individual to take like finding another job, another friend or life partner,” Anderson points out.
