WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Getting results is a key concern of leaders and managers. It is much easier to get things done and thereby results from people whom we have control and authority over. However, getting results from others who are not reporting directly to the manager or leader is a challenging task. Gone are the days when managers practice the command and control approach. In this era of globalization and virtual communication, the use of authority to get results is no longer effective. What is needed today is the use of collaboration and influence.

When dealing with decision makers like bosses, colleagues, staff members or senior management, persuasion and influence are the keys to obtain buy-in. Your job requires you to influence people just about all of the time. It may take the form of gaining support, inspiring others, persuading other people to become your champions, engaging someone's imagination, creating relationships.

Persuasion and influence help you to earn cooperation from co-workers and ensure your voice is heard and make you a better leader. The real skill is learning how to influence through commitment, loyalty and trust, rather than through mere compliance or, at worst, coercion. A win-win thinking is essential in addition to an understanding of personal power, persuasion and negotiation. The use of authority to influence is not the norm to be used in a new generation of employees of today. The ability to hone on the skills of persuasion and influence spells the difference between success and failure.
