Million Dollar Infleunce: How to Drive Powerful Decisions through Language, Leverage, and Leadership

Not everyone has a stake in the outcomes in the business of influence.

How will you secure yours?

Million Dollar Infleunce by: Alan Weiss and Gene Moran

Most board members, CEOs and businesses owners don’t understand the nuances of influence. They try to “strike deals” or assert hierarchical power. But the future belongs to the fast-thinkers, and to the people who know that influence is about accountability, innovation and leverage.

Million Dollar Influence is required reading for everyone who wants a stake in the outcomes in the business of influence. You’ll learn how to place your stake in the ground, marking critical positions that lead to your desired outcome.

This book delivers case studies, recommendations and strategies that can ultimately lead to market domination.

“Influence” is the power to shape policy or ensure favorable treatment from someone. Influence is reciprocal, the proverbial “win/win.”

Any questions? The answers are revealed in this book. Here are some featured highlights:

How consensus building is something to live with, not something to die for.

Are you too focused on winning because it’s so ingrained in your thinking that solely winning is what’s expected?

The fundamental difference between accountability and authority.

Leaders in business and politics become experts at recognizing the distinctions of responsibility, authority, and accountability through experience.

The need for innovation and even improvisation in wielding influence.

Improvisation can seal a deal methodically or take send you off a cliff haphazardly.

The scientific and magical contrasts of language

The construct you arrange with your words is subtle and sophisticated. Deliver your message with energy, authority, and clarity.

How to effectively maneuver within political environments

Our reality is that influence requires us to maneuver amidst people. Million Dollar Influence requires that you acknowledge and act to align peoples’ actions with your desired outcomes.

How to rally the right stakeholders at the right time.

We highlight the Aztecs as one group which successfully exercised influence by deploying a model focused on expansion.

The powerful role of consequence

There is almost always more than one way to succeed.

This book was written for people who refuse to let fear hold them in place, who are unafraid of change and want to yield greater influence.
