Providing valuable insight into human emotion and behavior, Monarth reveals the secrets to becoming the most psychologically astute person in the room?so you can be the most influential leader in the room. Learn how to:

• Assess your current influencing power
• Overcome resistance to your ideas and proposals
• Know what people are thinking and feeling?even better than they do
• Avoid the most common decision-making pitfalls
• Create an influence strategy tailored to your organization?s hierarchy

In addition to sharing insight he has gleaned during years of coaching leading executives, Monarth includes practice exercises, checklists, self-evaluations, and worksheets to help you tackle the challenge of influence and leadership head on.

Right now, one of your own counterparts might be exerting influence over you and your boss. You can do the same thing. Apply the lessons of 360 Degrees of Influence to place yourself in the best possible position to lead the leaders.
