If you think you can master the art of controlling people you are wrong, you will never be able to control people, you can just influence them. Whether we agree or not, we all wish to get the power or secret of influencing people at work. This is mainly because we want to progress at work by taking our works out from other people. So, what all is actually needed to influence people, read on to know about it.

The key to influence people depends on three main needs, including, symbolic rewards, security and material gains. Majority of people seek these three things and influencing them becomes easy if they get any one or all of these things from you at work. Now, let us elaborate these three things.

Symbolic rewards meaning praises or recognition. You will easily succeed in influencing anyone at work if you give the praise and recognition a person requires. This way the person feels special and obliged and in a way is influenced by you.

People at work look for security and stability; so, an easy way to influence people at work is to give them security by being with them so that they can depend on you. In return what you get is their support, and you will have no difficulty in influencing them or convincing them at your point of views.

Lastly, material gain is one thing that can influence anyone on the earth. It’s true that many people stick to their morals but getting rewarded in terms of money or other possessions does play a great role in bringing people at your side.

I used to compete in martial arts and before a fight, I'd feel so pumped up. For some reason, I felt all the more motivated when I drummed my left chest with my fist before the tourney. That got me all the more perked up. I would repeat the gesture
