Effective leaders don’t just make critical decisions and establish strategic plans; they also communicate in ways that inspire and convince others to act on their behalf. Servant leaders rely on persuasion and cooperation to get the job done, rather than coercion or manipulation. Persuasion benefits all parties involved and is a powerful leadership attribute to hone and employ.
Persuasive Leadership Defined
Persuasive leaders are those who use conviction and reason to guide others to adopt an idea, attitude, or action. They make their pleas personal and tangible, ensuring there is a high degree of authenticity when communicating their wants and needs to others. They understand that a problem well defined and grounded in experience will gain higher acceptance and greater cooperation from others. Therefore, they relate their experience and understanding of the problem before explaining or exploring the solution.
Servant leaders who use persuasion always endeavor to bring benefit to everyone and strive for the betterment of others over self. They seek to build consensus within groups rather than force a minority judgment or decision on everyone. They also avoid actions where one person (or group) benefits at the cost of another.
Effective leaders know when the timing is right to use persuasion to advance the mission of the organization and with whom to use this tactic. In fact, the ability to be persuasive directly impacts the following leadership domains.
