Personal Power and Influence
Prepare a 2–3-page paper (500–700 words), not including the title and reference pages, regarding your personal power and influence.
First, introduce a goal you would like to achieve by increasing the commitment of others. Next, using Table 8-1: Essentially Ethical and Honest Influence Tactic in Chapter 8 of the text (DuBrin, 2023), select two items from the list of interest to you and conduct research on how to effectively use each tactic.
Then, using the Leadership Self-Assessments found in Chapter 8 of the text (DuBrin, 2023), Quiz 8-1: Survey of Influence Tactics and Quiz 8-2: The Leader Ingratiating Checklist, analyze your current level of influence and your level of ingratiating behavior. Identify one-to-two opportunities for development. Provide recommendations to increase your personal power and influence development based on your research and analysis. Finally, conclude with a summary of the primary points of the paper and provide a call to action.
