WHO’S ON FIRST?

5 Reasons technical professionals need Influence now

Are you often in a role where you have more responsibility than authority, and can’t get people to see things “your” way?

You’re finding new organizational structures confusing and not sure who the decision makers are.

REASON NO. 2

2. Structures?

Organizational Structures are changing in rapidly accelerating ways. Most organizations are becoming flatter, less hierarchical. This is partly the result of much streamlining, downsizing, and reorganizing. Staff roles become much more important in this kind of structure, and there is much more need for interdepartmental and cross-functional collaboration. People at all levels must learn new sets of skills - Influence Skills - in order to survive in this “matrix” type of organization (some have called it the new “ad-hocracy”)?

However, you say it, it’s INFLUENCE

And in the new business and work environment of right now, we’re all going to need more of it!

Neither WHAT you know (your technical or professional expertise) nor WHO you know (your network of contacts) will guarantee your success.?

Your technical know-how can become obsolete with the next innovation, and even your network of carefully acquired contacts can vanish overnight with a surprise reorganization.?

What will help? Portable Power (TM) Influence skills - a set of skills you can take with you anytime, anywhere you are in any organization.?I call it “the technology of Influence”.
