Using microexpressions and body language cues to manipulate the emotions of your colleagues is likely to cause more harm than good. Microexpressions are fleeting facial expressions that typically occur in less than a second, and it can be unethical to use them for manipulating someone's emotions. Furthermore, body language cues may come across as unnatural or strange, and your colleagues may sense that something is not right. It is usually better to try and foster good communication between you and your colleagues through genuine conversation so that everyone can work together in a productive manner.

One way to subtly manipulate your colleagues’ emotions is through the use of microexpressions and body language cues. For example, you could use sympathetic facial expressions and subtle head tilts to indicate agreement with their point of view, or furrow your brows in faux concern when presenting difficult information. You can also make purposeful eye contact with them while talking to increase the effectiveness of your communication. Additionally, if you make sure that your nonverbal communication is consistent with what you are saying verbally it will help foster a feeling of trust and cooperation.

It is important to remember that while manipulating your colleague's emotion for an advantage may be useful in the short-term, it could create negative feelings toward you in the long-run if they feel like they have been manipulated. Therefore, it is best to use these techniques judiciously and carefully consider the potential consequences before employing them.
