Persuading Other People

Being able to persuade others is a critical skill for any career. We must convince an employer to hire us, persuade our boss to let us start a project, or get our coworkers to help us out. This lecture offers a rational approach to persuasion: it covers how to use personal or organizational power, deploy tactics on four planes, and harness basic social influences so as to have other people accede more easily to our requests.
