7. Manager, marketer, sales person, trainer, coach or parent, your effectiveness is directly
correlated to your ability to influence. It is a truism that we are paid not so much for what we do
but what we influence others to do.
Influence is when you effectively alter someone else’s perceptions, views, beliefs, attitudes,
decisions thus altering their actions. The expert influencer understands people, how they think,
what makes them tick and how to get on the same wavelength.
Successful leaders, entrepreneurs and agents of change, know and appreciate the power to
influence; they do not leave things to chance and hope they make a good impression they plan
and practice their strategy to ensure success.

12. Outcomes of Negotiation
Lose - Lose. This is when neither
side gains from the conflict and
usually results in resentment.
Lose - Win. This is when one party
is unassertive and lets the
other benefit despite the cost.
Win - Lose. One party imposes a
solution on the other resulting
in the loser feeling resentful
and defeated.
Win - Win. Both parties will gain
from the resolution with
improved interpersonal
relationships.
