Wagner's MBA Law of Hot Sauce

Wagner's MBA Law of Hot Sauce: Tabasco is not real hot sauce. When I ask for hot sauce, please bring me Siracha, Cholula, Tapatio, or that crazy delicious Chinese hot oil with the chili peppers floating in it. DO NOT bring me Tabasco! ;)

Wagner's MBA Law of Misguided Media Attention

Wagner's MBA Law of Misguided Media Attention: It is the misguided members of print, radio, and television press who are creating brands like Donald Trump and ISIS to attract audiences... for example, without press attention, these cowardly terrorist attacks against nonmilitary targets are virtually meaningless.

Wagner's Law of Changing Your Beliefs: Change Your People to Change Your Beliefs

Wagner's Law of Changing Your Beliefs: Change Your People to Change Your Beliefs -- Frequently, people report they believe something about themselves or hold an opinion about their world, such as with shopping, religion, politics, or science, etc. However, these beliefs are rarely held independently of comparison with beliefs of others with whom we compare our beliefs. Others or groups with whom we compare our beliefs (or opposing beliefs) provide a social context for increases or decreases in cognitive dissonance. Feeling more comfortable with a choice between mutually exclusive beliefs or behaviors, such as buying an expensive product or supporting a religious, political or scientific belief, is a decrease in dissonance. For example, to buy an expensive car with your spouse, you have four options to reduce dissonance: 1. Imagine your spouse agrees with you; 2. Imagine your spouse's opinion is not important; 3. Imagine you agree with your spouse; 4. Compare your decision to another or group who agrees you. Change your people to change the intensity of your beliefs.

Trump is doing so well in the U.S. Presidential Election.
