Before I jump in to this week’s post, a quick note. As you likely noticed, I did not publish a piece last week. I was traveling in Colorado for a product launch, and between traveling and getting everything set up for launch, I failed to publish a post. However, that’s no excuse, and so for that reason, I’ll be publishing two posts this week. On to today’s post.
Hey Nikil, great job summarizing the key to influencing others into just 6 factors! I also found it very helpful that you used real-world examples to demonstrate each concept.
The main takeaways for me were: (1) to offer help early on because you never know when you might need theirs in the future, (2) to come up with (non-arbitrary) deadlines in a shared setting b/c it gets everyone committed and on the same page, (3) to mention what others are doing / have done (especially if it’s in agreement with your ideas), (4) to show genuine interest in your teammates’ interest, (5) to bring in authority figures when you know they’d agree w/ you, and (6) to create arbitrary scarcity so that it seems more appealing.
Some of these will definitely be hard to do on the fly, but I’ll always have these principles in mind in my running career doc!
