Learn How to Lead People

"Who rules or guides or inspires others"

Having excellent guide skills is one of the most importantabilities to possess in today's fast-paced world. We need thesupport and cooperation of other people to help us in reachingour goals. The saying "No man is an island" is an undeniabletruth.

Here are some guidelines to effectively influence anyone you desire.

A) Enter their world.

You must understand the situation according to their point ofview. Set aside your personal interests and concentrate onthem.

Just pretend that if you are them, what would you do? Whatwould be your opinion? Then take the appropriate action thatwould be beneficial to them.

Copy them. Observe how they act, how they speak, and howthey think. If they rub their forehead while they think,act like them. If they speak at a clear and slow pace, tryto do the same thing. This is called mirroring.

In due time, the people you're mirroring will subconsciouslyfeel more comfortable with you. It's as if they seethemselves in you.

However, you must proceed with caution. Do not let them beaware that you are copying them. They might interpret it asmockery and you'll just get into trouble.

B) Be Friendly and Nice.

Smile to brighten up the day. Make a sincere compliment toraise their spirits. Little things like these count a lot.

Make them feel that whenever they need help or just someoneto look up to, you'll always be there to lend a hand. Theywould tend to be more receptive to people that they trust.

If you want to ask your boss a favor, do everything you canto please him. Over deliver and exceed his expectations.Soon, he will notice your efforts and will be more thanglad to grant your request.

C) Provide them with compelling evidence.

Explain to them how your ideas or suggestions could be themost effective techniques to implement. Show them undeniableproof that you have the best product by way of testimonials,before and after scenarios, and detailed comparisons againstyour competitors. Just make sure that all your claims aretrue and verifiable. Always maintain a good reputation.

D) Meet their existing needs and desires.

People are self-centered. They are initially concerned withtheir own well-being before others. If you can prove thatyour proposal will provide more advantageous benefits to themthan to your own, then they will probably accept it.

If you could focus more on their interests, desires, needs,and expectations, then you would satisfy their cravings forattention. Moreover, it would show that you really careabout them. Mutual trust and respect would be established.

This is the most important thing to remember when persuadinganyone. No matter how close you are to becoming like them orhow overwhelming your evidence is, if it does not satisfy the"What's In It For Me?" test, your persuasion efforts will notproduce satisfactory results. Always bear in mind how theywill benefit from your actions.
