It shows readers how to create work, family, and community relationships that are more balanced and mutually rewarding, and to take charge of their lives in a powerful, ethical, and productive way.

Exercising Influence uses a practical real-world model that will help readers discover how to:

* Develop effective influence behaviors and a strategic and tactical approach to influence

* Design and apply an approach to real-life situations
* Resolve problems and conflicts
