The ability to influence others is one of the most powerful skills that we can develop on the attempt to deal successfully with other people.  Influencing involves effective communication, listening skills, persuasion, assertiveness, negotiation skills, conflict resolution, problem solving and many other individual skills and competencies.  The "Trick" is to know the "Style" of another person, what skill's to deploy, as well as when and how to optimise your chances of influencing someone well.
