Rezensionen

'Aryanne has produced a very comprehensive exposition of the dynamics of influence in the workplace. It is grounded in practical and down to earth language and examples. This book is a must for those who seek to understand better and to develop their influencing effectiveness.' - Philip P. Anderson, Group Head of Executive Development and Succession, AIB

'Building Influence in the Workplace provides the reader with an excellent model by which to analyse how they currently influence others and where and how they can improve their skill in this area. Easy to read and understand, with plenty of reflection points, readers who are committed to developing themselves in this area will find this coaching approach supportive and

thought-provoking. I particularly liked Aryanne's challenge to her readers to consider the 'price' of being more influential and whether they are ready for the responsibilities greater influence brings.' - Amanda Whiteford, Head of Learning and Development, Tube Lines

'This is an engaging and straight forward guide to influencing. The book will be of value to anyone who needs to influence others in a professional environment. It uses well thought out case studies to help the reader understand the different ways to influence others. The book provides exercises to help you get the most from each chapter and to consider how you can apply the learning from the case studies. It is written in a clear, concise and jargon-free style which makesit an easy and informative read.' - Dr Julie Hodges, Senior Teaching Fellow in Organisational Behaviour and Director of the Full Time MBA Programme, Durham University Business School

Aryanne's analysis and guidance encourages the reader to look inwards as well as outwards in developing highly valuable skills for success inthe workplace and indeed in life.' - Kate Thurman, Partner, New Bond Street Asset Management, former Director, Dresdner Kleinwort

'This book is an easy to read and practical guide to how to manage relationships at work effectively and successfully.
