Virtually every human interaction involves some element of influence. We seek to influence others whenever we want someone to agree with us, take a particular action, share our point of view, accept our perspective, or behave differently. Our success in business, and in life, depends on our ability to get others to follow our lead, join our cause, feel our excitement, or buy our products and services. Is influence a natural ability with which some lucky people are born? Is it something available only to those invested with official authority over others? Or can it be mastered and exerted by anyone? "Elements of Influence" reveals how you can hone and develop your own ability to influence others, giving you the tools and information you need to do so ethically and in any situation.
