Without knowing more, in your shoes, I'd take a hard look and see if I were too agreeable. If you're technically respected, but not getting enough influence, it's possible that you're not aggressive enough. My understanding is that assertiveness training can help with that.

Thanks for this. I guess there is a fine line to tread between being aggressive and assertive. I often see them used interchangeably though.
