As with the case of his efforts toward development of strategy, he offers little, if any, original thinking choosing instead to parrot the standard and well-worn ideological precepts and language.

He knows that a perception of honor equates to authenticity and may eventually win the respect and approval of his listeners. He hopes to be recognized as a wise leader whose beliefs, values, convictions and ideas are worth supporting and fighting for. The strategy offers the simultaneous value of helping to establish his personal legacy.

He likely has a facility with words that allow skilled communication and facilitate organizational development. He is almost assuredly persuasive, clear and concise.

Those who successfully construct psychological operations messages and recruit others into organizations tend to be adept at “framing”. Some learn to frame messages through formal education while others seem to have an innate ability. The latter appears to be the case with Akia Radvhelvist (whether he knows it or not). Framing is conceptually connected to the underlying psychological processes that people use to examine information, to make judgments, and to draw inferences about the world around them. Framing is an important skill aimed at influencing targeted players at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, organizational, and societal levels. People who are adept at framing messages for others tend to be highly critical and introspective of messages to which they themselves are exposed. For example, a public relations specialist who develops advertising for one company would be adept at spotting and questioning the marketing tactics of another. For this reason, IO efforts aimed at Akia Radvhelvist should be rather sophisticated and well-considered. (U//FOUO) Akia Radvhelvist appears to have pronounced group-building skills.

Coalition building is the primary mechanism through which disempowered parties can develop their power base and thereby better defend their interests. Coalitions may be built around any issue. The formation of a coalition can shift the balance of power in a conflict situation for Akia Radvhelvist and alter the future course of any targeted conflict. Leaders who pool their resources and work together are generally more powerful and more able to advance their interests, than those who do not. Akia Radvhelvist may be able to resist certain threats or even begin to make counter threats based on coalition-power alone. Generally, low-power groups are much more successful in defending their interests against the dominant group if they work together as a coalition. Akia Radvhelvist knows this is certainly more effective than fighting among themselves and/or fighting the dominant group alone. For Akia Radvhelvist, building alliances probably involves a series of steps. The early steps center on the recognition of compatible interests. Sometimes this happens naturally.
