You Have More Influence Than You Think with Vanessa Bohns

Follow: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio or your favorite podcast player.

As a leader, we want to have a positive and important effect on our team. Through her research, Vanessa Bohns has found we often feel ineffective, or inadequate, or believe we said the wrong words. She joins Kevin to discuss why we don’t always recognize the influence we have and how that can lead to lost opportunities or misuse of power.

Key Points

  • Vanessa discusses what we can learn from a “stain on our shirt”.
  • Reasons why it’s hard for us to say “no” and what we need to think about when we “ask.”
  • The role of positional power on influence.
  • How to influence when you don’t have the power.

Meet Vanessa

She is a social psychologist and professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University and her research focuses broadly on social influence and the psychology of compliance and consent.
