“The Skill Of All Skills To Climb To The Top” Influence Tools

The “Skill Of All Skills To Climb To The Top” influence tools cover more advanced concepts about the way that people perceive you and respond to things that you do. They are about building relationships that deliver mutual value and success to you and those that you interact with (read more about Student to CEO Influence Tools here).

These influence tools cover concepts such as:
  • Do lots of things that help other people: do not expect anything in return, but know that if you do something for someone, they will feel implicitly that they should do something for you in return and the more that you help people the more they will be there for you when you need them;
  • Take an interest in others and show it: focus on them, ask questions and listen rather than talking about yourself, find out about them and use this to help engage with them more effectively;
  • Bring all of these things together: building on all of the previous influence tools, you must consistently deliver when you say you are going to do something, keep positive when talking to and about people, use the intelligence that you gather by finding out about people to add more value than anyone else.
