The Influencing Skills Survey

The ability to influence is a critical capability possessed by all successful people. If you focus your development on this capability, you will become more effective and get better results.

Our research has identified 42 separate skills which contribute significantly to the ability to influence. These align to 7 key dimensions of influence...

Self-Awareness | Understanding Others | Understanding Groups

Influencing Individuals | Networking | Influencing Groups

Building Trust

(Complimentary Self-Assessment)

The Influencing Skills Survey has been designed to help you learn more about which of these 42 skills you need to focus on in order to develop your capability to influence. After completing the self-assessment, you will then be able to invite others to give you feedback.

Once you have decided you have enough feedback, you can close your survey and see the report. The report is simple and short. In addition to showing the dimension scores and detailed breakdown, extra sections are shown...

Influencing Strengths | Development Areas | Perceptual Gaps | Colleague Comments

Once you have analysed the results (and perhaps reviewed with your line manager), you can then plan your development focus and plans. After a suitable period of development, you can then use the Influencing Skills Survey to gather more feedback to see what has changed. This makes it an ideal before/after tool to demonstrate progress. In fact, you can do it several times during the course of a year if you wish.*

* When you purchase the Influencing Skills Survey, you are given access to the survey for 12 months. During this time, you can invite feedback from as many people as you like, and you can repeat the survey several times during the year to monitor your progress.
