Persuasion: Using Influence to Create Engagement
by Caroline Hatcher
One very important path to influencing others is through persuasive communication. However, the power of symbols such as language and images must be used with a strong commitment to ethical practice. If those in positions of leadership use their knowledge of the extraordinary capacities of language well, we can look forward to the growth of organisations that are fulfilling for their members and respectful of the diversity of views held about an issue, and where the creative instincts of all staff are heightened and explored.
But what does it mean to be persuasive? Although many people think of persuasion as a moment in time when someone tries to encourage another to do what they want, this book proposes a much broader way to think of persuasion.
