Influence Strategy
The results from the survey are not surprising and are accurate. My effective influence strategy matched with what I expected. The primary influence strategy had the highest score, that is, eighteen. The use of reason is the easiest way to convince or influence a person. Providing a justification or explaining to a person the essence of something is the most suitable influence strategy. Additionally, the secondary influence strategy produced the desired as well as anticipated results. The approach had the second highest outcome which was seventeen. The outcomes of this strategy are in line with the utilization of reciprocity. Reciprocity is the practice of exchanging gifts or things with other people for mutual benefit. Incorporation of reciprocity in the influence strategies reveals that it is the second most relevant way of convincing a person.
Recently, I tried to influence my classmate that we add extra hours to our study time. However, I was not successful in my attempt. The main reason is that I applied retribution mostly. Retribution is a punishment that is inflicted on a person as vengeance for a criminal or wrong act. Notably, the use of threatening statements amounts to retribution. In future instances, I will use different strategies which are more appropriate. I ought to have used either the primary or secondary influence strategy.
My current predominant approach of influencing other people is consistent with my leadership goals.

The first technique as a leader when trying to influence people is to establish trust. Developing trust is the most effective way of convincing people. Furthermore, my strategy of influencing others is based on logical appeals. The logical appeal is basically tapping into people’s intellectual as well as rational positions to easily affect their way of thinking. I also incorporate emotional appeals when influencing people. Similarly, this ensures that I connect with other people’s opinions as I convince them.
