Summary:

Whether we are dealing with people on a one-to-one basis, putting forward our views in a meeting or making a presentation to a large group of people, our ideas and suggestions are only as good as our ability to persuade others to agree with - and act upon - those ideas and suggestions. The effective influencer is, above all, a successful negotiator, working with others to find solutions that benefit all parties.
