Read this article explaining how President Obama has used

to do his job.

  • Note the different types of influence President Obama uses.
  • Think about the different ways you, or managers you worked with or for, have used influence to accomplish their tasks.

Share any questions, kinds of influence not mentioned in the article or disagreement you might have using the WEnotes comment option below.

For example:

  • Is influence more effective than hard power?
  • I think you get more done by influencing people than just telling them what to do.
