Activity: How do you influence co-workers and other peers?

This exercise is designed to help you understand different forms of influence when working with co-workers (i.e., people at the same organizational level), as well as estimate your preference for each influence tactic in this context.
      Think about the occasions when a co-worker disagreed with you, opposed your preference, or was reluctant to actively support your point of view about something at work. These conflicts might have been about company policy, assignment of job duties, distribution of resources, or any other matter. What did you do to try to get the co-worker to support your preference?
      The statements below describe ways that people try to influence co-workers. Thinking about your own behaviour over the past six months, how often did you engage in each of these behaviours to influence co-workers (i.e., people at a similar level in the organization)? Choose the most accurate number for each statement.
