The Necessary Art of Persuasion 說得의 美學 “ The day when you could yell and scream and beat people into good performance is over. Today you have to appeal to them by helping them to see how they can get from here to there, by establishing some credibility, and by giving them some reason and help to get there. Do all those things, and they’ll knock down doors. “ 說得

FOUR WAYS NOT TO PERSUADE: 1. Attempting to make a case with an up-front, hard sell. 2. Resisting compromise. 3. Thinking the secret of persuasion lies in presenting great arguments. 4. Assuming persuasion is an one-shot effort.

FOUR WAYS NOT TO PERSUADE 1. Attempting to make a case with an up-front, hard sell. Strongly state your position at the outset, and then through a process of persistence, logic, and exuberance, try to push the idea to a close. But, setting out a strong position at the start gives potential opponents something to grab on - and fight against.

FOUR WAYS NOT TO PERSUADE 2. Resisting compromise. Too many managers see compromise as surrender, but it is essential to constructive persuasion. Before people buy into a proposal, they want to see the persuader is flexible enough to respond to their concerns. To persuade meaningfully, we must incorporate their perspectives into our own.

FOUR WAYS NOT TO PERSUADE 3. Thinking the secret of persuasion lies in presenting great arguments. In persuading people to change their minds, great arguments matter. But other factors matter just as much: the persuader’s credibility, ability to create mutually beneficial frame, to connect emotionally with an audience, to communicate through vivid language.

FOUR WAYS NOT TO PERSUADE 4. Assuming persuasion is an one- shot effort. Persuasion is a process, not an event, which involves listening to people, testing a position, developing a new position that reflects input from the group, more testing, incorporating compromises, and then trying again.

12 34 說得 Establish credibility in expertise & relationships Frame for common ground Provide evidence Connect emotionally 說得

Establish credibility.. Expertise: have a history of sound judgment, prove yourself knowledgeable and well informed about your proposal. … How will others perceive my knowledge about the strategy, product, or change I am proposing ? Do I have a track record in this area that others know about respect ?.. Relationships: show strong emotional character and integrity, be honesty, steady, and reliable, share credit for good ideas, provide staff with exposure to senior executives. … Do those I am hoping to persuade see me as helpful, trust- worthy, and supportive ? Will they see me as someone in sync with them-emotionally, intellectually, and politically-on issues like this one ?

12 34 說得 1. Establish credibility.. To fill in the gap in Expertise:. Learn more about the complexities of your position through formal or informal education and through conversations with knowledgeable individuals.. Hire someone to bolster your expertise such as consultant.. Utilize outside sources of information such as respected busi- ness or trade periodicals, books, and lectures by experts.. Launch pilot projects to demonstrate on a small scale your expertise and the value of your ideas... To fill in the gap in Relationships:. Meet one-on-one with all the key people you plan to persuade and get a range of perspectives on the issue at hand.. Involve like-minded coworkers who already have strong relationships with your audience.

12 34 說得 2. Frame for common ground.. Describe their positions in terms that illuminate their advantages - a process of identifying shared benefits... Identify your objective’s tangible benefits to the people you are trying to persuade... Engage people and gain commitment to ideas or plans by high- lighting the advantages to all the parties involved. … Have a solid understanding of your audience. … Closely study the issues that matter to their colleagues. … Use conversations, meetings, and other forms of dialogue to collect essential information. … Listen to what they say. … Test your ideas with trusted confidants. … Ask questions of the people you will later be persuading.

12 34 說得 3. Provide evidence.. Supplement numerical data with examples, stories, metaphors, and analogies to make your positions come alive. -- The numbers don’t make an emotional impact... Cite examples of similar investment that paid off handsomely: “ Back in the days of the Roman Empire, the legions of the emperor conquered the known world. There was, however, one band of people that the Romans never conquered. Those people were the followers of the great teacher from Bethlehem. Historians have long since discovered that one of the reasons for the sturdiness of this folk was their habit of meeting together weekly. They shared their difficulties, and they stood side by side. Does this remind you of something ? The way we stand side by side and share our knowledge and difficulties with each other in our weekly unit meetings ? I have so often ob- served when a director or unit member is confronted with a personal problem that the unit stands together in helping that sister in distress. What a wonder- ful circle of friendships we have. Perhaps it’s one of the greatest fringe benefits of our company ”.

12 34 說得 4. Connect emotionally.. In the business world, we like to think that our colleagues use reason to make decisions, yet if we scratch below the surface we will always find emotions at play: … Show your own emotional commitment to the position you are advocating not just in your mind but also in your heart and gut. … Have an accurate sense of your audience’s emotional state. … Adjust the tone of your arguments accordingly. “Marcell prepared a 15-minute talk built around slides of his hometown, Iron River, a now defunct mining town in Upper Michigan, devastated, in large part, by foreign mining companies. On the screen flashed recent photographs of his boarded-up high school, the shuttered homes of his childhood friends, the crumbling ruins of the town’s ironworks, closed churches, and an abandoned railroad yard. Marcell’s point was that the same outcome awaited Detroit if the production of small cars was not brought back to the U.S.. He said surrender was enemy and devastation would follow if their managers did not take immediate action. Marcell ended his slide show on a hopeful note. He spoke of his pride in his design group and then challenged the team to build a ‘made-in-America’ subcompact that would prove that the United States could still compete”.
