New York City, NY, US, April 06, 2012 -- The most powerful leaders at any level are the ones who can get anyone to follow their lead—whether it’s their own boss, their direct reports, their peers, or even external partners. It’s what New York Times bestselling author Harrison Monarth calls 360 Influence. In his previous book, Executive Presence, he taught how to manage how one is perceived by others in order to generate respect and get things done—and, ultimately, catapult your career.

360 Degrees of Influence teaches managers how to sell ideas to senior executives, master workplace politics, and develop a winning self-brand to reach the top of their organization. Monarth applies the latest scientific research in human behavior and decision-making to help readers develop the skills, mindset, and even lifestyle necessary for becoming the number-one leader of an organization or industry. He shows readers how to use others’ belief systems to their advantage, master the skill of “empathic accuracy,” and become an astute observer of human behavior and communication.

“No longer limited to the sphere of superheroes and CEOs, the extraordinary power of influence is now within everyone’s reach. Recent graduates, executive assistants, project managers and business leaders can all benefit from Monarth’s simple steps for "getting everyone to follow the lead.”—Marshall Goldsmith - million-selling Author of the New York Times bestsellers, MOJO
