Team Building When: You Need To Persuade A Colleague

Description

Persuading your colleague to change the way they do something takes careful planning and clear communication. It’s necessary to help them understand why you want something done, why it is desirable to make the change and to show them how they would benefit from the change. Once they have implemented the requested change, it’s important to sincerely show your appreciation for it. Watch this brief video that brings these ideas to life. You’ll see how important it is to look at the challenge and the change from a 360-degree perspective, and then make your pitch. This course is part of the Team Building When series on workplace communication.
