To be an effective influencer you first need to understand who you are trying to influence and what makes them tick. What is their communication and working style? What is important to them? What are their needs and wants? It is easy to think that what works for me will work for the other person then try and force your own preferences on them, but to be an effective influencer you need to accept others as they are and then work to influence them in a way that suits their style and needs.
