Persuasion Mastery: How Managers Can Convince Anyone, Anytime
As a manager, you spend considerable time getting people on board, right? Remember the last plan you made, whether to schedule a team-building activity or get your team started on the next set of strategic moves toward success. Of course, all of it takes good persuasion skills from #managers and leaders. However, the quality of being persuasive is often an underrated one! Managers and team leaders need to be persuasive to be successful professionally. While it seems easy enough that the authority associated with the position should give your decisions and ideas substantial weight for people to back them, it might not be so simple always! Consider the difference between a manager who just announces decisions. The team complies, no matter what they might think of them. On the other hand, a persuasive manager enables the team to see things their way. As a result, the team members truly understand and buy into the reason put forth by the manager. Consequently, they are not simply complying with the orders but also bring in motivation and ownership over the tasks assigned to them. Now, think thoroughly. Which scenario seems better?
