Learn how to get them on your side. The secrets of more influential and effective leadership.

Most importantly, you'll also begin to understand how your values complement and conflict with others' values. And you'll learn how to better influence people who don't share your values.
*** Analyze almost any work situation in seconds from the perspective of your values and then know what to do about it.
*** Respectfully, openly and informally give and receive effective feedback.
*** Learn simple questions that will help you determine what's most important to you and others and how to use that information to get better results.
