چگونه فرد تاثیر گذاری باشیم؟

آیا دوست دارید فرد تاثیر گذاری باشید ؟؟

با خواندن ۶ روش زیر فردی تاثیر گذار در میان دوستان و نزدیکان خود خواهید شد

1. Be Authentic¹ and Transparent ²

Don't put on a show. Be real. Be honest. Trust is built that way and trust amplifies ³ influence.

2. Accept Responsibility

Don't make excuses. If you are at fault, accept the blame and do it proactively ⁴. Being a leader doesn't mean being perfect. Learn from mistakes and show others the way.

3. Be a Solution Seeker

Don't sit around complaining about what doesn't work or about all the problems around you, instead seek solutions. People are attracted to solution seekers and by being one you will help influence others towards a new perspective.

4. Be Proactive ⁵

Don't sit around expecting someone else to take the lead. If you want to create positive influence then step out ⁶. Be the one who generates new ideas, who takes a risk, and who creates movement towards a desired future or outcome.

5 . Practice Empathy ⁷

Take the time to understand the feelings of others. What motivates them? What do they care about? They won't care about you and your ideas unless you care about them in return ⁸. But here's the deal ⁹... it must be genuine. You really have to care. People are more important than numbers.

6. Appreciate ¹⁰& Recognize Others

A simple THANK YOU goes a long way in person ¹¹and even further when done publicly. Choose to recognize the efforts of others and lift them up ¹² as shining examples for others to see. By doing so you are influencing others by reinforcing ¹³what works and what was done right. We all want to be valued and appreciated.
