Influencing For Results In Organisations
Influencing for Results in Organisations is an original, innovative and comprehensive study of what makes individuals effective influencers in organisations. More than just a study, it is also a workbook filled with case examples and questions aimed at building people's capacity to influence for the results they want.
Based on 30 years of development in 30 different countries Influencing for Results in Organisations combines theory, success stories and a seven-step planning guide to help you expand your range of influencing skills. It will move you from occasionally getting what you want – and not knowing how you got it—to frequently getting what you want – and knowing how you did it, so that you can do it again.
This book is for anyone who works at any level, in any kind of organisation – large or small, public or private, for profit or not for profit. The focus is not: “Who will lead us?” or “How will I lead them?” The focus is: “How will we influence each other?”
Seven Ways to Lighten Your Life
Before You Kick the Bucket
A bucket list is a list of things to do before you die. This book is a guide to ways to live before you die. Whether you have a bucket list or not, the stories and insights in this book offer you seven clear ways to lighten—and enlighten—your life before you kick the bucket. George Simons and Walt Hopkins (international consultants in their mid-seventies) have learned a lot about living well while getting older—and they generously and intimately share those learnings with men and women concerned about aging.
Passport to Results
A wise man once described effective influencing as “the ability to move an idea from your mind to my mind and to move me with the idea.” Those few words sum up what you need to do to influence effectively. Passport to Results is a handy, pocket-sized workbook that should be used alongside Influencing for Results in Organisations to guide you through the process: developing your abilities, clarifying your ideas, choosing your strategies, connecting with the people you are influencing, and getting what you want.
Based on 30 years of development in 30 different countries, Influencing for Results in Organisations combines theory, success stories, and a seven-step planning guide to help you expand your range of influencing skills. It will move you from occasionally getting what you want – and not knowing how you got it—to frequently getting what you want – and knowing how you did it, so that you can do it again.
Journaling Passport
Walt Hopkins’ Journaling Passport is a practical yet inspiring guide to keeping a Journal, which can become a lifelong, rewarding ‘habit’. Walt’s sets of Seven Learnings come from the idea of Seven Laws—which he first learned about in a wonderful book by Michael Phillips called The Seven Laws of Money. He tells of the ancient Taoist tradition of developing seven laws by starting at the centre and then moving through a series of polarities to something that transcends the sequence.
Since Walt prefers Learnings instead of Laws, he uses the Taoist process to develop Seven Learnings about whatever he is learning. This Passport is a summary of what he has learned in the past 60+ years of keeping a Journal. These are not laws. These are learnings that may—or may not—work for you as you write in your own Journal. Here are Walt’s Seven Learnings about Journaling: 1. Write Now – 2. Write Regularly – 3. Write Irregularly – 4. Write What I Think – 5. Write How I Feel – 6. Go Beyond Writing – 7. Live to Write
