Divide and conquer is a very powerful group dynamic technique. For example, group of 5. Get one person talking to you (that's 2). Draw another one in (that's 3 - you control the group).
Divide and conquer can be used in darker ways. The Delphi Technique. I have recollections of this being used without my knowledge at the time. It is amazingly effective.
