Influencing Your Boss - Getting Heard Helpcard

	Influencing Your Boss -- Getting Heard Help Card Learn Techniques To Get Your Boss to Take Your Ideas More Seriously Available in E-version instant delivery version and in traditional print format sent in regular post

You file your weekly report every friday morning at 10:00 a.m. because that's the day and time your boss has specifically requested. If you wanted to change your weekly report's delivery day and time to monday at 11:30 a.m. how would your boss receive your request? Would she/he be willing to consider your request, or be unwilling to entertain any 'harebrained schemes you waste your time cooking up'?

The Concept: Sometimes just having your new idea or suggestion seriously considered by your boss is as satisfying as having it actually implemented. If you find your boss too intimidating or just plain uninterested in listening to your new ideas and concepts, we offer you some communication techniques that will help you get the attention of your superior and influence his or her decisions.

Here's a quote from the actual card: The key to getting heard is to understand your organization (its goals and concerns, etc.), your boss (concerns, style, etc.), and of course the specific problem your idea is meant to address. If you consistently miss the mark, then futures suggestions you make (even good ones) may get shunted aside.

The Help Card Shows:

1. How to make what you have to say relevant and IMPORTANT to your boss
2. How you can use what you know about your boss to get him or her to sit up and listen
3. How to present a balanced argument to increase your credibility
4. How to react if the boss rejects your request or suggestion
5. How to demonstrate that you have a concern about the welfare of both your company and your boss

Usages: Learning these advanced communication principles can help you get your ideas adopted and used in the workplace, enhance your career, and improve your job satisfaction. There's an art to breaking through your boss's resistance, and you can learn how in a remarkably short time.

Audience: Ideal for anyone who wants to improve communication with their supervisor or manager. Surprisingly, the information on this card also benefits managers by helping to teach staff how to optimize time, and communicate more effectively and precisely.
