1 Build Trust

Before attempting to sway any decisions, it's vital to establish a foundation of trust with your boss. This means consistently delivering quality work , meeting deadlines, and showing initiative. When you are reliable and your work speaks for itself, your boss is more likely to value your opinions and consider your suggestions. Trust is the currency of influence; earn it, and you'll find your boss more receptive to your ideas.

A good boss is not afraid of their team being better at him/her at some things - that's how we get the best senior team in a business. For me, it's not about manipulating anything or anyone (there are those that do, but certainly not my way), but more fully understanding the ethos and goals of the company, ensuring the culture matches with your own, and then developing trust during difficult situations. When this is achieved, your boss is more likely to listen to you, even the off the wall ideas

Poor subject and choice of questions. These points are well known for professionals in today's workforce, if not google and YouTube are pretty good sources of research; take out your phone and use it for some of its other technological advancements. On another note, the concept of having a boss was established during slavery times, where there is only one boss. Change your mindset. As adults we need to establish partnerships and advance together as professionals. Take that growth and use it to become your own boss, grow your own business, and become the leader of one, or many. When there is many, your objective as a leader is to teach those you partner with to become leaders and establish similar paths. A world of leaders. Paid.

The first and most important part of this process is to understand one single idea. “Don’t outshine the master.” I interpret that as demonstrating your respect for the boss, especially in front of others.

La confianza es la amalgama de las relaciones. Y ésta se consigue cumpliendo una y otra vez los compromisos que asumes. Es muy fácil perder la confianza ganada en mucho tiempo con un descuido de un día. A todos los jefes les gusta tener a su alrededor personas que les resuelvan problemas y no que se los traigan. Pero cuidado, esto no significa que debas ser una de esa personas que dice a todo que sí sin tener tu propia opinión. Al contrario, te ganarás su respeto cuando aprendas a argumentar sólidamente tus ideas y sepas decir que no de manera adecuada.

2 Understand Goals

To influence your boss effectively, you must align your proposals with their goals and the company's objectives . Take the time to understand the bigger picture and how your boss is evaluated on their performance. When your ideas contribute to their success, you're not just pushing your agenda; you're becoming a valuable ally in their eyes. This strategic alignment turns your propositions into win-win scenarios.

3 Communicate Clearly

Clear communication is the bedrock of influence. When presenting your ideas, be concise, articulate, and focus on the benefits. Avoid jargon or overly complex explanations that can obscure your message. Instead, use persuasive language that connects emotionally and logically with your boss's interests. A well-communicated idea has a higher chance of being embraced and acted upon.

Insisto en mis clientes que uno de los primeros entrenamientos que deben hacer es en comunicación asertiva. Y observo que no es mucha la gente que valora esta competencia. Siempre que entreno a mis clients en esta competencia busco que se conecta con personas que para él/ella sean buenos comunicadores. Y curiosamente, ahí está la clave de qué es lo que hay que hacer para ser claro e influyente en los demás.

4 Show Empathy

Empathy is a powerful tool in understanding and navigating the power dynamics with your boss. By putting yourself in their shoes, you can anticipate their concerns and objections to your proposals. This foresight allows you to address issues proactively and demonstrate that you have considered the implications of your suggestions from their perspective, which can significantly enhance your influence.

5 Timing Matters

The timing of your approach can be as important as the message itself. Look for opportune moments to present your ideas, such as after a success or when your boss is in a problem-solving mode. Avoid times of high stress or when they are preoccupied with other issues. Timing your suggestions well can mean the difference between a receptive audience and a dismissive one.

6 Follow Up

After you've presented your idea, it's important to follow up without being pushy . If your boss hasn't responded, a gentle reminder that you're available to discuss further can keep the conversation going. Following up shows that you are serious about your proposal and willing to engage in further dialogue. It's a respectful way to maintain momentum and show persistence without being overbearing.
