How to Be Persuasive in a Leadership Role to Achieve Goals
10 Ways to Cope with Heavy Stress and Life's Difficult Situations
Best Practices When Applying for School Administration Jobs
Introduction
If you are in a leadership position, one of the most important aspects you must consider and acknowledge is the importance of persuasion. You can tell people in your team what you want them to do and not do; they will comply or face consequences for not complying. However, you will find more success and foster more productivity with achieving an organizational goal if you get your teams to buy into your vision or goal!
Persuasion is challenging because oftentimes, people are set in their ways and do not want to break away from systems that have worked for them in the past. When people do not know for certain that the change will yield results, they will resist learning and doing something in a new way.
The larger the organization is that you lead, the more challenging it will be to bring about change and innovation. Imagine being on a small canoe versus being on a cruise ship; a canoe is much easier to control than a cruise ship with thousands of people on it. Therefore, change must come with small steps that are clearly spelled out in an organized and systematic way to persuade everyone onboard that what you are asking them to do is necessary and important for success.
