Description:
Where organizational structures are consistently changing there are fewer opportunities to influence others by the traditional use of power and authority. Instead individuals increasingly have to rely on both their personal impact and their influencing skills. This volume recognizes this evolving dynamic and shows the reader how, through effective planning and preparation, it is possible to considerably improve the impact you make on others and hence improve influencing abilities. The book links influencing skills research with practical experience gained through both group and one-to-one training. There are case studies from real organizations.
