How do we lead a change without using or even having power over the person we seek to redirect? Influence and persuasion are crucial to any kind of leadership, yet they get so little attention. This talk uses colorful storytelling, humor, and a tested persuasion method from an unlikely source to show learners how to persuade more effectively, especially in dealing with stakeholdersโ relationships where influence alone wins the day.
