Create rapport with the person you are trying
to influence – it may sound like common sense but if they like and trust you there is a greater possibility that you will be able to persuade them. 2. LISTEN
Listen and show you are listening. If
someone feels valued they are more likely to be persuaded to your point of view. 3. ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Use questioning techniques to lead
people towards the answers you want 4. BE AWARE OF BODY LANGUAGE
Mirror the other person’s body language
to create better rapport 5. SELL THE BENEFITS
Sell the benefits of your argument to the
other person and try to see your position from their perspective 6. BE RELAXED
A relaxed and natural demeanour is more likely to
achieve a successful outcome rather than an emotional or demanding approach. Demonstrating a natural confidence will help to persuade others that your ideas are good. 7. INVEST YOUR TIME
Influencing isn’t a quick fix. It can take time to
develop empathy and awareness but you are more likely to get what you want if you play a long game Leadership agility Accessed June 6,2021 at https://www.slideshare.net/frederic0moreau/leadership-agility-37547661
