    About this ebook

    CHANGE YOUR COMPANY. CHANGE THE LIVES OF OTHERS. CHANGE THE WORLD.

    An INFLUENCER leads change.
    An INFLUENCER replaces bad behaviorswith powerful new skills.
    An INFLUENCER makes things happen.
    This is what it takes to be an INFLUENCER.

    Whether you're a CEO, a parent, or merely a person who wants to make a difference, you probably wish you hadmore influence with the people in your life. But most of us stop trying to make change happen because we believe itis too difficult, if not impossible. We learn to cope rather than learning to influence.

    From the bestselling authors who taught the world how to have Crucial Conversations comes the new editionof Influencer, a thought-provoking book that combines the remarkable insights of behavioral scientists and business leaders with the astonishing stories of high-powered influencers from all walks of life. You'll be taughteach and every step of the influence process--including robust strategies for making change inevitable in yourpersonal life, your business, and your world. You'll learn how to:

    • Identify high-leverage behaviors that lead to rapid and profound change
    • Apply strategies for changing both thoughts and actions
    • Marshal six sources of influence to make change inevitable

    Influencer takes you on a fascinating journey from San Francisco to Thailand to South Africa, where you'll see how seemingly "insignificant" people are making incredibly significant improvements in solving problems others would think impossible. You'll learn how savvy folks make change not only achievable and sustainable, but inevitable. You'll discover breakthrough ways of changing the key behaviors that lead to greater safety, productivity, quality, and customer service.

    No matter who you are or what you do, you'll never learn a more valuable or important set of principles andskills. Once you tap into the power of influence, you can reach out and help others work smarter, grow faster,live, look, and feel better--and even save lives. The sky is the limit . . . for an Influencer.

      If you want to change things on a macro level. You need to read this book
    • 3/5
      The book deep dives into a million different stories to make up proof of concepts and justify the authors points. Personally I prefer a concise clear and easy to follow methodology, not a disperse selection of events to prove a point. It becomes very boring after 30 pages.
