Influence use is explored in a variety of organizational contexts, including influencing upward, downward, laterally, and in a team. Team members are taught how to cooperate, negotiate, and create alliances. Interactive role-plays, demonstrations, and one-on-one feedback and coaching enable each individual to practice these skills.

• Increase interpersonal effectiveness by using10 powerful influence techniques
• Eliminate conflict and inefficiencies by understand negative or "counter" influence tactics
• Explore your influence styles and strategies and learn how to achieve better results by adapting your style to the preferred methods of others

That power has the potential to influence others, but only if it is being used in the right manner. Research has shown that various influence tactics convert power into actual influence. These are specific behaviors that power holders use to affect others. These tactics include the following:

• Assertiveness- ordering, nagging, setting deadlines, and verbal confrontation;
• Integration- using flattery and acting friendly, polite, or humble;
• Rationality- using logic, reason, planning, and compromise;
• Exchange-doing favors or offering to trade favors;
• Upward appeal- making formal or informal appeals to organizational superiors for intervention;
• Coalition formation- seeking united support from other organizational members.

Your base of power determines what form of influence tactics you would be able to use in order to grab the attention of others. Someone with coercive power might gravitate towards assertiveness, someone with referent power might gravitate toward integration, and someone with expert power might try rationality.

As you can guess, the use of influence tactics is also dependent upon which you are just trying to influence- subordinates, peers, or superiors. Subordinates are more likely to be the recipients of assertiveness than peers or superiors. Exchange, ingratiating, and upward appeals are favored tactics for influencing both peers and subordinates.

Which influence tactics are most effective? Research has show that upward influence attempts directed towards superiors to be the most effective. At least for men, using rationality as an influence tactic was associated with receiving better performance evaluation, earning more money, and experiencing less work stress. As for women who used integration as an influence tactic received the highest performance evaluations from male managers.
