Influencing Others: The Senior Managers Role in the Community
Many of us have little power over others. However some of the most powerful strategies we have are not used. All of us have the power to influence others. This ability to influence provides the quickest way to convince others to use our suggestions, or follow our lead. Topics include:

• The wall of “ego”
• Listening to values
• Phrasing the question
• Using the power
