Successful technical professionals realize the importance of developing ongoing and productive “win-win” relationships with others inside their companies. Influencing and negotiating with coworkers in different areas of the company to gain their time and commitment to meet your needs is critical to your personal success as well as that of your business. This is especially true when resources are stretched.

Many people find it daunting when faced with a need to influence others, but the uniqueness of technical professional’s training and experience gives them additional layers of challenges and issues. While you and your coworkers all support the greater needs of the company, understanding each other’s individual and departmental issues is important in getting results. This isn’t always simple to do, and, in fact, can become even more complicated when you must make your case to a group, rather than to an individual.
