Day Day Up with Mr Jonathan
Influence at work is about focus, not force
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people spend a big chunk of their careers trying to be heard.
If that’s your frustration, at some point you’ve probably come across the words “Influence without authority”.
And you probably thought, “That sounds useful. I want that.”
But you struggle to actually get influence, because of one problem.
Everyone talks about influence.
Yet, few explain what it actually costs.
In this podcast, we discuss what true influence without authority costs, and how you can achieve it consistently in the Western workplace.
