Product Description

Product Description
Offering readers ways which ensure that they get ahead at work, this book aims to provide powerful techniques for cutting through inter-personal and inter-departmental barriers and motivating others to offer support, time and resources.

From the Inside Flap
At some point, almost all of us will find ourselves in the same bind at work: we know what needs to be done and how to do it, but we can′t get the right people on board. The risk is allowing frustration to become resignation—or unproductive retaliation. Fortunately, the new and improved Influence Without Authority, Second Edition offers a proven, effective model for breaking through the impasse and building an environment of collaboration, mutual assistance, and real achievement.

Leadership gurus Allan Cohen and David Bradford explain how to coax cooperation from the people who control the resources, information, or support you need to succeed. You′ll learn how to get past your restrictive assumptions, figure out the interests and needs of potential partners, and negotiate mutually beneficial exchanges that help you both achieve your goals. It′s a powerful and proven way to cut through interpersonal and interdepartmental barriers to turn coworkers and competitors into allies.

This new Second Edition adds clarity, depth, and insight with new chapters on applying the Exchange Model to entire organizations, making it even more useful for team leaders and managers. It includes many more practical applications such as working cross–functionally, leading major change initiatives, using direct influence, and overcoming organizational politics.

No matter what your organizational position, or what kinds of clients and customers you deal with, part of your success depends on being able to influence people over whom you have no formal control. Influence Without Authority, Second Edition presents a clear model and effective, practical strategies for convincing and influencing those around you in order to accomplish important workplace goals—to the benefit of you, your colleagues, and your organization. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

First Sentence
Whether you work in an organization of three or 300,000, you probably already know that it is not an exaggeration to speak of heroism in connection with the growing problem of how to accomplish work when you cannot order people around. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Good info on how to be effective in team-based organizations, 19 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book covers how to use the natural human laws of reciprocity with others in your organization to achieve maximum productivity. More importantly the book also promotes the attitude of looking on everyone in your organization as allies (people you like) and potential allies (people you don't). Highly recommended.
