Product: Obtaining Results without Authority: A Practical Guide (Career Book 6)
Description: Remember the last time you got something for nothing?
Of course you don't.
Nobody gets something for nothing, at least not often. In fact, if you consider yourself one of the lucky few, you should expect to be unlucky soon. The corporate world doesn't like freeloaders. If it's influence and results you desire, and you have no authority to push your agenda, it helps to have something to bargain with.
Welcome to the world of reciprocity, or give-and-take. You already know it well. Each time you acquire a gallon of milk, you reciprocate with something of equal value: money. Unfortunately, when money isn't exchanged, reciprocity can get lost too.
And that's the problem. Favors may not require a cash payment, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay somehow. If you want to know how to get results when you don't have authority, it's imperative that you fine-tune your sense of reciprocity.
You don't want your current team assignment to get off to a poor start. But you lack authority; you're just a team member. Can you do something to help the team? The answer is yes.
A growing number of people recognize that authority is not required for them to be able to exert influence. In fact, opportunities to take the initiative as a team member abound.
It's important to realize that employees with no delegated authority can play a variety of team roles that encourage teamwork and lead the team to success.
Playing an influential team role without the backing of some form of authority takes initiative and a strong sense of self-worth. In reality, you're taking on a leadership role, encouraging activities that lead the team to success. The possibilities are endless once you decide to act assertively. Your actions can help create an energetic team that is results-oriented.
You'll feel good about yourself and your contributions to the team when you take the initiative. In this course, you'll learn about helping the team work together even though you lack authority.
Sabrina was an administrative assistant in a television newsroom. She kept track of vacations, travel logs, staff meetings, and company functions. Few doubted the importance of her job, but how many considered her a leader?
Although Sabrina couldn't hire anyone or give someone a raise, she was considered a strong leader. She knew how to portray confidence and integrity, helped others do their jobs efficiently, knew how to get things done, and took the lead on important projects.
Sabrina obviously knows how to behave like a leader without having authority. What's the secret?
There is no secret. Sabrina just understands how to channel her tasks in a way that makes a difference to her company. And you can do it too.
You need to behave as other leaders behave, trust in your abilities, and become willing to ask for and take chances. This course can help you hone those skills and lead the way, no matter what rank you hold in the business kingdom.
Some people measure their success by how many enemies they make.
Is this an effective strategy for creating change?
Unless your name is Attila the Hun, the answer is "no." A better way to create change, especially when you're running short on dictatorial power, is to gain allies first.
In the business world, alliances create change--not brawn. Nowhere is this strategy more crucial than when you lack direct authority.
Winston Churchill wrote, "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." When it comes to gaining allies to create change, you need to do just the opposite: You need to be willing to change your mind and your ideas if you want to change the status quo.

Product: World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17
Description: Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile.

Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics, and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

Product: Getting Results without Direct Authority: A Practical Guide (Career Book 5)
Description: Strict hierarchical authority structures are becoming less common in the workplace. Instead, companies are more laterally organized, with a focus on collaborative teamwork. So good influencing skills are more important than ever for success in the workplace.
Cultivating cooperative relationships and building credibility are the foundations on which you can build influence and so get the results you need. Influencing skills are essential no matter what your position – but they're especially important if you don't have direct authority over those you need help from.
To get what you want in a situation where you have no authority, you need to communicate persuasively.
You need to use oral communication properly if you want to be taken seriously and be seen as credible. This is especially true when you don't have authority. It then becomes critical that you communicate well – as well as persuasively – otherwise it's likely you won't get what you set out to achieve.
Consider sales calls and telesales. The salespeople must have effective communication skills. Because they have only a limited time to sell their product, they must be highly persuasive speakers.
You may not be a salesperson, but you still need to be able to influence your colleagues, whether you're asking for a simple favor, a major commitment, or a buy-in for your ideas. Without formal authority, you can't simply order people to do your bidding. Persuasive communication can help.
Sometimes, even if you have prepared to the best of your ability, you may still meet some resistance. Knowing how to communicate persuasively involves knowing how to overcome resistance so you can achieve the result you want.
In economics, the "no free lunch" rule encapsulates the idea that to get something you want, you need to give something back. Or if you give nothing, you get nothing.
In its simplest sense, the idea of exchange is illustrated when you go to a store and exchange money for a desired item.
This idea of exchange – also known as "reciprocity" or "give-and-take" – isn't restricted to material items. It's a universal principle that applies to all kinds of situations.
Reciprocity becomes especially pertinent in cases where you need to influence people you have no direct authority over.
You may need help from a colleague on a project, for example. Or you may need key information from someone in order to complete an important report.
Reciprocity can be either positive or negative.
Positive
In positive reciprocity, the exchanges are mutually beneficial. For example, "If you cover my weekend shift this Saturday, I'll cover yours next month."
Negative
In negative reciprocity, the exchanges are negative or threatening. For example, "If you don't come to this meeting, you won't receive a production bonus."
You should avoid a negative bias in exchanges unless it's necessary. Negative bias can create a pattern of hostility – which can be very counter-productive in a work environment. Negative bias can also build mistrust and damage perceptions of individuals in the organization.
Consider you and your boss's relationship. Are you able to make a request to take on more responsibility? Can you get the direction you need? Are you happy with the relationship you have with your boss – with how you and your boss work together? If you have answered no to any of these questions, you may need to build influence with your boss in order to improve your situation.
Building influence with your boss can have many benefits. If you have influence, your boss is far more likely to listen to your thoughts and ideas.
You may be given more latitude, more support, or more challenging assignments.

In this audiobook, the author studies the various forms of psychological warfare, the dark personalities, the key elements of this PsyWar and, most importantly, how we can fight back and win. It is, without doubt, the best gift you can give to yourself.

The principles in this audiobook are not hype, they have survived through the ages and will continue long into the future.

After listening to this audiobook, you will never be the same again.
