It is almost certain that your job requires you to influence people on a daily basis. This may take the form of getting people to do things; inspiring others to buy into something; motivating your team; or selling an idea. Whatever the context, being able to positively influence is an essential management and leadership skill. Successful influencers know that the key to influencing is understanding how to communicate effectively and using the right tool, with the right person at the right time. It is not about working harder but working smarter.
