Rebecca Jones, MLS rebecca@dysartjones.com Persuasion, Influence & Innovative Ideas
“I have an idea, or thoughts about a new approach...a new service...a new partnership”
Important to keep in mind An idea or anything new  = change People don’t like change when it involves them Group = individuals brought together to work
It’s kinda simple, really: Why are some naysayers? Don’t see what’s in it for them Fear “Laters” or “Laggards” The Classic Corn Research & Early Adopters
Influencing is built on:
We keep learning… Influence without Authority by Cohen and Bradford The Art of Woo by Shell and Moussa Influencer by Patterson & Grenny The Influence Modelin Journal of Organizational Excellence, Winter 2005 Situation Management Systems’ Positive Power and Influence Programs  www.smsinc.com Dave Pollard’s How to Save the Worldblog
Influencing others starts with ourselves We have to see ourselves as influencers We must be clear on what we want to see happen We must learn new approaches “Influence may be the highest level of all human skills.”
Consider the broader context “Leadership is a process of social influence through which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.” Chemers, M. (1997).   An integrative theory of leadership.  Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. p. 1.
Some underlying principles One in ten Americans tell the other nine how to vote, where to eat, & what to buy Passionate, informed, well-connected, articulate people with broad social networks, to whom others look for advice & recommendations “Talkers” The InfluentialsKeller & Berry, 2003
Effective influencers tend to be: “Expert” in a specific domain  “Early Adopters” or certainly know how to build relationships with early adopters to move change through Opinion leaders Knowledgeable about the issues being dealt with Viewed as trustworthy With connections Use their knowledge & connections to help others
Influence without authority Cohen-Bradford’s Model
Wooing Knowing what you want Getting it in front of a few people Forming, moulding & building a snowball Following the network One idea, one ally, one email, one conversation, one meeting, one presentation at a time
Influencing is built on:
Influencing skills Competence Know your strengths & weaknesses Work to your strengths Keep the organizational perspective Critical success factor for credibility & expertise
Influencing skills Relationships Get to know people, what they do, & keep in touch – regardless of level Build trust; it’s incremental & fragile Must understand your organization’s hidden yet important relationships & where the real power lies Its “organization quotient” differs from its formal structure	Forbes, July 23, 2007
Relationships “You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.”                                            J.S. Knox
Being part of the quotient To move to the decision-making table: Clear direction which can be articulated Cross-functional experience Financial understanding of ROI & investments Presence, confidence, clarity Rebecca Jones research for SLA Executive Institute, Information Outlook
Influencing skills Clarity Be clear on what you want  Be clear on what you’ve got, & where your lines will be drawn Communicate clearly, in the style of the listener
Influencing skills Clarity The connections between communication & motivation Pre-1965: prefer face-to-face Motivator: I’m needed Pre-1981: prefer e-mail Motivator: doing it my way Post-1981: prefer IM Motivator: being part of creative team Hammil’s “Mixing & Managing Four Generations of Employees”, FDU Magazine Winter/Spring 2005
Influencing Styles Involving – “pull” -communication style matches others’; building collaboration Inquiring – “push” - listening carefully to identify others’ needs & ‘currencies’; to give & take Leading – “pull” - engaging people to share stories & common grounds Proposing – “push” - presenting possible solutions or a choice of options; structured & rational
Inquiring Based on assumption that people are more motivated by what they’ll lose  Scarcity principle: people want what they can’t have Present an idea, explaining what it is they’ll get from you or what they might lose
Leading or Visioning Based on assumption that people want to help create the solution Requires a good blend of both expertise & credibility - & trust Use images & metaphors, not facts & logic
Proposing or Persuading Goal is to gain real commitment Manage the credibility card What do they want that you can give them? Why might they say no? Close the sale “Will you commit?” “When will you..” Not “We hope you will….”
Yes! Core principles that increase your persuasiveness: Reciprocation Authority Commitment/consistency Scarcity Liking Social proof Goldstein, N., Martin, S. & Cialdini, R. (2008). Yes! 50 scientifically proven ways to be persuasive.
Involving Based on assumption that people like to be a part of what other people are involved in Name specific individuals who are or have been involved Works especially well if the people LIKE those who are involved People are more influenced when they feel they are part of the process, are complimented & thanked for their contribution
All styles require: Clarity – know what you want & what you want to convey Competence – know what you are doing Relationships – know the individuals involved & which style to pursue
Thank you rebecca@dysartjones.com

  • 9. Consider the broader context “Leadership is a process of social influence through which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.” Chemers, M. (1997). An integrative theory of leadership. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. p. 1.

  • 21. Influencing Styles Involving – “pull” -communication style matches others’; building collaboration Inquiring – “push” - listening carefully to identify others’ needs & ‘currencies’; to give & take Leading – “pull” - engaging people to share stories & common grounds Proposing – “push” - presenting possible solutions or a choice of options; structured & rational
  • 22. Inquiring Based on assumption that people are more motivated by what they’ll lose Scarcity principle: people want what they can’t have Present an idea, explaining what it is they’ll get from you or what they might lose
  • 23. Leading or Visioning Based on assumption that people want to help create the solution Requires a good blend of both expertise & credibility - & trust Use images & metaphors, not facts & logic
  • 24. Proposing or Persuading Goal is to gain real commitment Manage the credibility card What do they want that you can give them? Why might they say no? Close the sale “Will you commit?” “When will you..” Not “We hope you will….”
  • 25. Yes! Core principles that increase your persuasiveness: Reciprocation Authority Commitment/consistency Scarcity Liking Social proof Goldstein, N., Martin, S. & Cialdini, R. (2008). Yes! 50 scientifically proven ways to be persuasive.
  • 26. Involving Based on assumption that people like to be a part of what other people are involved in Name specific individuals who are or have been involved Works especially well if the people LIKE those who are involved People are more influenced when they feel they are part of the process, are complimented & thanked for their contribution
  • 27. All styles require: Clarity – know what you want & what you want to convey Competence – know what you are doing Relationships – know the individuals involved & which style to pursue

Editor's Notes

  1. Do you have an idea, or a new approach, that you’d like to pursue at work?Are you stalling because you worry about the response?Who has had an idea, or an new approach & you DID float the idea at work?& did the idea get moved forward?Did it get moved forward to a point & then stop?Or did it get “cut” before you had a chance to even let it “sprout” a bit?What we want to do is to explore how to get an idea off the ground to be explored, and if it’s good enough, to move forward to realization
  2. This conference is full of new – of ideas – So why, in a profession & in organizaitons based on creating “new” knowledge – based on sharing ideas – why is it so hard to move new ideas forward?Well….cuz…..Like all professions & organizaitons – there’s naysayers & there’s influencers
  3. Why are ppl
  4. ALL RESEARCHERS CAN AGREEDIFF FROM POWER
  5. Cohen & Bradford focus on “currencies” for the give & take process involved in influencing
  6. & bear with me, if, after working in all kinds of organizations & with all kinds of libraries for the past 30 years if I make some generalizationsCommon tactics Ingratiation (make them feel important)Assertiveness (make demands)Rationality (explain reasons)Sanctions (administrative means for compliance)Exchange of benefits (trade-offs)Upward influence (appeal to higher levels)Blocking (prevent target from achieving goal)Coalitions (enlist others to influence)
  7. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU.YOUR INTUITION IS WRONG.YOUR PREFERENCE IS RIGHT ONLY FOR YOU.When they think about persuasion, most people emphasize their own experiences too much, rather than depending on data or techniques.Increase your persuasive power by understanding six core principles: “reciprocation,” “authority,” “commitment/consistency,” “scarcity,” “liking” and “social proof.”A small gift or favor will make you more persuasive. People will want to pay you back.The public believes in authority, so enlist higher-ups on your side.People want to be consistent and committed, so show how your proposal aligns with their values.The rarer something is, the more people want it.Individuals want to be liked, so practice seeing the good in them.People tend to follow the majority. By establishing norms, you can get them to act as you wish.Fear paralyzes people, so use scare tactics only if you offer an antidote to fear.Admit your errors. Demonstrating honesty increases your influence.
