The Executive Guide to Influence: Be heard. Be known. Learn to influence others and succeed at work - Paperback

by Tan Zhi Rong (Author)

About a third of our lives are spent working. That is around 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. Yet, in school, we were not taught on the importance of influence in the workplace in order to succeed in our careers.

Given the pace of today's world, we are instead fed a barrage of misinformation and other technical jargon. This book cuts through the noise and offers a complete and practical guide for fresh graduates, interns, and junior executives as they start out at work. The Executive Guide to Influence is the most important book you will ever read to prepare yourself in the modern workplace. Featuring six easy chapters and application questions to guide you through, readers will gain insight into:

• Why it is that some people, despite being less experienced than you in the company, seem to exert this aura of influence that gets people to agree and endorse their ideas time after time.
• Why focusing all your energies on your work presentation is not necessarily a good thing.
• How influence is possible despite holding a junior position in the company.
