As organisation
structures become
flatter and less
hierarchical, the
opportunities to wield
influence and effect
change have grown.
Influence and
influencing skills
are not always fully
understood, and many
professionals hold
themselves back with
the notion that
effective influencing
is the purview of
senior leadership or
more confident and
charismatic
personalities.
Credibility, active
listening and a win-win
mindset are key to
effective influencing.
