Some people struggle to get buy-in for their ideas while others seem to do it easily, sometimes even for the exact same idea. These people who are great at influencing organizations make it seem effortless.

What we don't see, though, is the work they are putting in behind the scenes to be influential in their organizations: 1. The strategic thinking that they put into creating a plan to influence the organization 2. The process & effort that they put in behind the scenes to get buy-in from people, and 3. The skills they have mastered through deliberate practice to operate smoothly in high stakes situations.

Influencing people and organizations requires: - Leveraging human psychology to change minds: - Accounting for organizational dynamics and power structures - Using processes to build alignment and deep commitment - Using principled decision frameworks to drive complex tradeoffs - Improving core interpersonal skills - Strengthening Emotional Intelligence and Positive Intelligence - Build a custom plan to achieve your influence outcomes and grow skills
