Must people learn very early in life that a good way to get people to like you (31) to show that you like them. Flattery, favors, and frequent compliments all tend to win people (32) Leaders, naturally, like those who like them and are more apt to let those they are fond of influence them.
F or their part, followers think that (33) on the boss’s good side gives them some measure of job security. Indeed, a recent study indicated (34) successful ingratiators gained a 5% edge over other employees in performance evaluations. This kind of margin by (35) won’t get someone ahead, but in a competitive market, it might (36) tip the scale toward one of two people up for a promotion.

Gratuitous ingratiation can create a subtle shift in a leader’s attitude toward power.
