How you give away influence - Deepstash

How you give away influence

  • Assuming that your needs are secondary to the other’s
  • Not listening to your feeling
  • Letting yourself be interrupted
  • Backing down when someone disagrees with you
  • Avoiding conflict—not disagreeing with the other
  • Not giving feedback, assuming the problem is probably yours
  • Being concerned about being liked/approved of and seeing that as most important
  • Minimizing the importance of your comments
  • Not taking credit for your accomplishments
  • Not pointing out a problem unless you have a solution.

The single most limiting one is the fear of conflict—believing that conflict is a sign of a flawed relationship.
