That's easy to say, but HOW do you actually influence others, and more importantly WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
Each and every one of us are influenced every day, whether we know it or not. Do you know that governments and large companies regularly use things like popular TV shows to influence entire populations? Do you want to be able to recognize when you are being influenced? Do you want to be able to influence others around you? A word of warning, this book may have you looking at your favorite TV shows a little differently…
Are you a CEO, manager, sales rep, parent, friend, or maybe just want to change your own habits? Then you NEED to understand how to influence others and yourself in order to create lasting change.
That's what Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change is all about. This is a well researched collaborative work by Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler. I've read a lot of these books, and this is by far one of the most comprehensive ones I've found on the subject to date.
Read Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change, and you'll be able to identify and utilize the six sources of influence to effect lasting change in yourself, and those around you.
Lose that extra 10lbs you've built up over the years. Help lead change at your company. Help your friend or child make better decisions. Recognize when you yourself are being influenced by others. You'll learn how the masters do it, and how to use these techniques in your own life.
Enjoy, and have an amazing day!!!
