How Power & Warmth Shape Every Conversation

from The Deductionist Podcast Hosted by ben cardall

What if you could map human behaviour in real time, and predict how people will respond, shift, or resist you in a conversation? In this episode, we dive into the Leary Circumplex, a psychological model that helps decode interpersonal behavior across dominance, submission, warmth, and hostility. From its roots in academic psychology to real-world application in interviews, leadership, negotiations, and investigations, we explore: – The origins and evolution of the Circumplex model – How behavior shifts in live conversation – Using positioning to build rapport or reduce conflict – Why every action pulls a reaction and how to read that dynamically If you're serious about behavioural intelligence, self-awareness, and better conversations this is a foundational listen.
