Mangement training programs generally spend a lot of time on "running effective meetings," "dealing with difficult people," and so on. Nothing intrinsically bad about those things -- they're useful and necessary.

The pursuit of the homosexual agenda in the Episcopal Church (or other denominations) is an excellent case study of the technique in action. For years, the American church and its allies have been able to get their way by effective use of these techniques. It took the orthodox Primates a long time to understand what was happening -- now that they have, the ECUSA has started losing battles.
