Persuading

Definition:-
The act or process of persuading
someone to do or believe something.
To prevail on (a person) to do something
as by advising or urging.
It is an important to develop your power of
persuasion. Effective leadership often
requires such direct method to influence
those we lead but how do you set about
persuading someone?
This is by no means a new question indeed
in some ways it’s one that the ancient
Greek philosopher Aristotle is said to have
addressed ethos , logos, pathos.
Aristotle is said to have separated the
means of persuading someone into three
kinds of appeals.
An appeal to”ethos”:- The credibility of
the person making the persuasive
agreement, How convinced are you bye
the person.
An appeal to “logos”:- The use of logic to
support a claim. Do the fact stack up.
An appeal to “pathos”:- The emotional or
motivational appeal, does the argument
appeal to the emotions? language choice
can effect people's emotional response.
However don’t confuse open and honest
persuasiveness with other, more negative
ways to influence.
For example, contrast persuasion with two
other ways to change a person's view:
Propaganda, which tends to be
ideologically driven and an ethically
questionable approach to influencing.
Manipulation, which suggests coercive
attitudes or active persuasion should be
seen an neutral.
Arguing if you're right, listening if you are
wrong:
Stanford university professor Bob Sutton
argues that leaders should adopt this
approach to influencing argue as if you are
right, listen as if you are wrong.
Two sides of this approach mirror the nation
of advocacy and inquiry. Advocacy is making
your thinking process visible in reaction to
developing your inter-personal skills,
advocacy is about:
Making your point, taking a position in an
attempt to influence other.
Supporting your viewpoint with how you
come to that view, although reaming open to
alternative view
On other hand, inquiry means asking other to
make their thinking process visible.
How does it sound to you? What makes
sense to you? What doesn’t?
Inquiry is about:-
How questions are raised and answered.
Allowing people to inquire into one
another’s reasoning and understand the
conclusion they have reached.
Advocacy and inquiry are two sides of
being persuasive.
Some examples of
persuading through
advertisement.
1.You can get free toy with every
happy meal.
2.You have to think of both sides
while driving.
3.Children get persuade and ask their
parents to buy such products.Because
they are offering free car.
4.This company is offering free
meal for kids.
5.Other pain killer kills the pain not in
such a manner as fast Bayer Aspirin kill
the pain.
6.These days people prefer the
home made things.
Thank You 
