Book Review - Influencer by Kelly Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxwell, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler.
Managers have very complex jobs. Not only must they be well grounded in the technical side of the business, but understand the intricacies of human nature as well. In fact, dealing with human behavior is the most frustrating aspect of the job for many managers.
At last, I have found a book that provides five practical strategies for making change happen. The authors of Influencer have done a marvelous job of distilling powerful insights from behavioral scientists and business leaders into a guaranteed formula for change. Anyone who reads this book will benefit from it.
The authors demonstrate how five simple strategies achieved startling successes. This book is vividly illustrated with successful stories describing how these strategies have worked, such as dramatically reducing HIV infection in an entire country, how a large manufacturing facility turned the dismal implementation of Six Sigma into a massive success for the company, as well as how you can change self defeating behavior for yourself and others.
If you have been a regular reader of my blog, you know I focus on practical information leading to measurable results. This book delivers both.
