This is increasingly becoming an essential management skill in today's world. People no longer appreciate authoritative bosses and they tend to rebel or under perform if we try to exercise control on them. But, if we can influence them, then they will not only do what you want but also be happy about it. To exercise influence, you must understand the formal and informal structure of your organization. Again, you might need to use influencing when you are dealing with any aspect of the project-for example, controlling changes to the project, negotiating schedule or resource assignments, resolving conflicts, and so on.
