How to Increase Your Influence at Work<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

To be effective in organizations today, you must be able to influence people. Your title alone isn\u2019t always enough to sway others, nor do you always have a formal position. So, what\u2019s the best way to position yourself as an informal leader? How do you motivate colleagues to support your initiatives and adopt your ideas? How can you become a go-to person that others look to for guidance and expert advice?<\/p>\n

How to Fix the Most Soul-Crushing Meetings<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Meetings are notoriously one of organizational life\u2019s most insufferable realities. Better meeting techniques, like distributing agendas, holding stand-up meetings, or enforcing a no-device policy, are all well-intentioned practices. But none of them will salvage a meeting that shouldn\u2019t be happening in the first place.<\/p>\n

Power Can Corrupt Leaders. Compassion Can Save Them<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Research of neuroscientist Sukhvinder Obhi, who has found that power impairs our mirror-neurological activity \u2014 the neurological function that indicates the ability to understand and associate with others. David Owen, a British physician and parliamentarian, has dubbed this phenomenon hubris syndrome, which he defines as a \u201cdisorder of the possession of power, particularly power which has been associated with overwhelming success, held for a period of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through our interviews, we heard variations of this time and again. It\u2019s not that power makes people want to be less empathetic; it\u2019s that taking on greater responsibilities and pressure can rewire our brains and, through no fault of our own, force us to stop caring about other people as much as we used to. But it does not have to be this way. Such rewiring can be avoided \u2014 and it can also be reversed. Based on our work with thousands of leaders, here are a few practical ways to enhance your compassion\u2026<\/p>\n

Thinking on Your Feet: Staying Cool and Confident Under Pressure<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you are put on the spot while attending a meeting, presenting a proposal, selling an idea, or answering questions after a presentation, articulating your thoughts in unanticipated situations is a skill. Thinking on your feet is highly coveted skill and when you master it, your clever and astute responses will instill immediate confidence in what you are saying.<\/p>\n

When you can translate your thoughts and ideas into coherent speech quickly, you ensure your ideas are heard. You also come across as being confident, persuasive, and trustworthy.<\/p>\n

Confidence is key when learning to think on your feet. When you present information, give an opinion or provide suggestions, make sure that you know what you are talking about and that you are well informed. This doesn’t mean you have to know everything about everything, but if you are reasonably confident in your knowledge of the subject, that confidence will help you to remain calm and collected even if you are put unexpectedly in the hot seat.<\/p>\n

Win-Win Negotiation: Finding Solutions That Work for Everyone<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you dread entering a negotiation? Do you worry that what you want will not match what the other person wants to give? Do you worry about having to “play hardball” and souring a good working relationship? After all, for someone to win, someone else has to lose, right? Well, not necessarily.<\/p>\n

Chances are, you can find a solution that leaves all parties feeling like winners by adopting the aptly-named “win-win” approach to negotiation.<\/p>\n

In this article, we examine the meaning of win-win negotiation, and we explore how you can apply the concept of “principled negotiation” within win-win, to build mutual respect and understanding while getting result that you both want.<\/p>\n
