Recommendation

Developing influence at work is a skill you can and must learn. British psychologist Aryanne Oade, a knowledgeable, practical teacher, presents case studies that demonstrate how to employ influencing techniques to sell your ideas and yourself to your colleagues. At the end of each chapter, the author asks you illuminating questions based on your own experience. While Oade’s contribution isn’t deep in new ideas, she does provide a good orientation, and her advice helps you consider other people’s perspectives. getAbstract recommends her insights to anyone who wants to boost their influence. Everyone who works with other people will find it helpful.

Take-Aways

  • No matter what position you hold, gaining influence at work is critical to accomplishing your job and succeeding in your career. You can learn to be influential.
  • Being great at your job means little if your colleagues regard you as unpersuasive or powerless, but influencing them requires thought and planning.
  • Don’t assume that what matters to you matters to others.
