Summary:

Elevate Your Impact Through Influence Skills At work, we often find ourselves in situations where we can and do influence others. We are negotiators, persuaders, conciliators, and maybe intermediaries and mediators. While there used to be little to no emphasis placed on developing these skills, organizations now recognize the ability to influence as critical for effective employee relations and productivity. Part of the ATD Soft Skills Series, Influence in Talent Development examines the growing importance of personal influence at work and its impact on your relationships, career, and organizational success. Talent development professionals have a tremendous opportunity to influence at a deeper level-with learners, SMEs, and stakeholders-to achieve business and learning results. This book considers what it means to influence in general and in the TD context; how to use your ability to influence tactically and strategically; how to overcome barriers to success; and how you can be more impactful and empathetic. Vivian Blade shares a framework of five powerful principles at work to guide and expand influence: social capital, courage, authenticity, passion, and engagement. Engage the principles in this book to build your influence among your colleagues and employees, and you will be more effective at getting things done with others. Other books in the series: * Adaptability in Talent Development * Emotional Intelligence in Talent Development * Creativity in Talent Development * Teamwork in Talent Development
