Persuasion Skills Black Book Pdf

[Kansas Eiffel]

Ata time when leadership requires less emphasis on giving orders and more of a focus on building consensus, personal persuasiveness and the ability to negotiate effectively have become critical skills for success.

Drawing on sound psychological research, Persuasion: Influencing Without Authority covers the range of interpersonal and intergroup persuasion challenges, from one-on-one negotiations to driving change in an organization's culture. The focus is on practical skills and immediate application to participants' real-world challenges.

Persuasion vs. Negotiation

Are you looking to complement your persuasion skills with expert negotiation skills? In this short video, the program's faculty director Bob Bontempo explains why persuasion and negotiation are different sets of behaviors but with two complementary skill sets.

"Technical skills are what poker players call 'table stakes,' the minimum currency one needs to 'get into the game.' But later on, we find that it is an executive's softer skills that determine their ability to create value, drive change, and build institutions.

The current round of economic turmoil means that certain organizational responses are inevitable. Mastery of the softer interpersonal skills is what will separate those who merely survive these changes from those who will thrive and grow as leaders."

Participants are provided a number of readings in the psychology of persuasion and attitude change prior to the program. During the program, participants apply the techniques to a personal case, are provided an individual assessment of their social style, and receive a videotape analysis of their persuasive communication.

Persuasion: Influencing Without Authority is designed for all levels of executives. This program is especially suitable for those who find they need to be more effective building consensus and influencing those over whom they do not have formal authority.

Executives who need to promote their agenda in an atmosphere that does not permit giving orders, who need to "manage up," and those who need to drive change, both one on one and across organizational boundaries will also benefit from this program.

Think about the kinds of skills you might need in order to effectively communicate with people, handle conflicts, or conduct negotiations. These are known as influencing skills, since they help you persuade others. With these, you can help your department, team, or individual employees increase their productivity. You can also use influencing skills to maintain a good work environment and reduce conflicts between employees. The following are some of the most useful skills successful professionals use to influence others at work.

Being able to negotiate with others is a technique that allows you to reach a compromise with the other party that satisfies both of you. To do this, you might need to be flexible with your own ideas and be willing to consider theirs. For example, you might find a way to use both ideas, or you might use your idea on one project and theirs on another. Becoming familiar with negotiating techniques and practicing them at work can help you improve this influencing skill. Keep in mind that negotiating involves using several skills, such as effective communication, emotional intelligence, adaptability, integrity, and persuasion.

Failing to influence others can happen for several reasons. Using coercion instead of persuasion to try to get others to listen to you or do something for you, for example, often results in failure. Persuading others involves treating them with respect, while coercing others does not. Instead, coercion is more like manipulation. Relying on manipulation or coercion to influence others can have the opposite effect and cause them to refuse to listen to you, since these are not tactics that a leader would use. You might also fail at influencing others if you are judgmental or talk down to them rather than respecting them. Not being flexible can cause others to refuse to listen to you as well. For example, if you insist that a project be done your way without any input from others, this lack of flexibility can lead to a failure to influence others.
