Influence
How Do You Gain Influence Over Others?
In 1936 Dale Carnegie published his first book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. The book sold over 30 million copies and still ranks among the top bestselling books nearly a century after its first publication. It stands as a testament to the power of influence, which is integral to the success of human beings in their personal and professional lives.
We want to be able to influence others. Whether at work, home or in our community, we often think we know best and want others to GO WITH OUR PLAN.
But how does one gain the power of influence over others? It isn’t by insisting that your way is best and demanding that others do things your way. That only diminishes your ability to influence others. The more you insist that people do things your way, the more they tend to resist.
Allow Others to Influence You
To gain influence over others, you must allow others to influence you. Instead of insisting on doing things your way, allow yourself to be influenced by others by going with their plan. If the boss wants something done a certain way, even if you think it might be less efficient, do things the boss’s way. If someone on your team wants to try a new method of doing things, if it isn’t unsafe and the risk is minimal to mission success, go with their plan. Allow yourself to be influenced by them. When you do this, it opens their mind and allows you to have more influence on them.
