How would you get a tribe in Africa to filter their water in order to save their lives from a devasting parasite?
How would you get people to behave differently in order to eradicate the HIV virus?
How would you help 4 million people emerge from their poverty?
How would you change the culture of a business, church, lifestyle...anything?
I know what doesn't work: preaching at people.
I just finished the book "Influencer" and it was a great book on influencing change in any aspect of life. The book outlines 6 pieces of influencing change and all these must be initiated in order to facilitate any sort of change:
-Make the Undesirable Desirable
-Surpass Your Limits
-Harness Peer Pressure
-Find Strength in Numbers
-Design Rewards and Demand Accountability
-Change the Environment
-Surpass Your Limits
-Harness Peer Pressure
-Find Strength in Numbers
-Design Rewards and Demand Accountability
-Change the Environment
The book was an easy read and the authors walk you through each of these concepts with ease. They also provide real-life examples that any leader, or I should say influencer, can relate to.
