044 - How to Generate Buy-In - Simon Dowling

It’s the perennial question for leaders - how do we get people to buy in to our ideas? To work with us because they want to, because they believe in the cause - not because it’s in their role description. Mastering the art of buy-in is what separates leaders from managers - and my guest in this episode is here to convince you of the power of ‘win me’ over ‘decree’ and to offer a heap of insights and advice that will help you identify and develop the skills to take your leadership to the next level. We talk about what it takes turn an idea into action. How you go about enrolling the enthusiastic support of the people around you to enhance your ideas and bring them to life. Leaders don’t tell people what to do - they inspire and encourage them to want to take action.
