The Art of Influencing People: A Guide to Effective Communication - How to Read People, Understand their Psychological Needs & Make them Follow Along by Leveraging on Body Language & Public Speaking

A powerful way to influence people in a positive way is to catch people doing good. Instead of looking for problems, look for successes. Look for often overlooked, but critically important things that your peers, subordinates and managers do that make the work more effective and more enjoyable.This amazing book covers how to influence people and enhance your own ability to influence others no matter what situation you are in.The book touches on a core component of human interaction, building strong relationships. It is no wonder why. The author has explained ten unmistakable traits of the best influencers and 10 techniques of influencing people. I have bought the kindle version of the book and read it few times already. It is a wonderful source of knowledge, experience and techniques etc that makes this book an essential part of someone’s life who loves to influence others.Everything that we do hinges on our ability to connect with others and formulate deep relationships. You cannot sell a house, buy a house, advance in most careers, sell a product, pitch a story, teach a course, etc. without building healthy relationships. Managers get the best results from their teams, not through brute force, but to careful appeals to their sensibilities, occasional withdrawals from the reservoir of respect they’ve built. Using these tactics, they can influence others to excellence, to productivity, and to success.To influence people in a positive way, be authentic. Rather than being a carbon copy of someone else’s version of authenticity, uncover what it is that makes you unique.Discover your unique take on an issue and then live up to and honor that. Once of the reasons social media influencers are so powerful is that they have carved out a niche for themselves or taken a common issue and approached it from a novel or uncommon way. People instinctually appreciate people whose public persona matches their private values.To positively influence others, you must listen to what is spoken and what is left unsaid. Therein lies the explanation for what people need in order to feel validated, supported and seen. If a person feels they are invisible, and unseen by their superiors, they are less likely to be positively influenced by that person.Most people are predisposed to listen to, if not respect, authority. If you want to positively influence others, become an authority in the area in which you seek to lead others. Research and read everything you can about the given topic, and then look for opportunities to put your education into practice. Highly recommended to those who loves to influence others.

It was okay. I honestly was expecting a little bit more information but it was a good reading. I read the book in one day and I was left with that feeling that I already knew all the information I just read.This book is good for those who don’t have a clear identity of themselves... For those who still setting their goals through life. At the end of the day, we’re all influencers of some sort (or wanna be). The lesson I took from this book is that to influence others we must first influence ourselves through our thoughts and behaviors. Because if we can’t read our own mind & attitudes, how can we influence others to be their greatest self ???Effective communication starts from how we speak with ourselves, & if a individual miss this crucial part it will ruin the opportunity of channeling a single narrative, or bird eye the whole picture of what exactly is the power of influence.I think the author of this book missed the technique of “ How to read our minds & expectations before understanding other mindsets”.I guess I will get another book with that subject to complement what I learned from this one.
