National Strategy Implementation Learning Collaborative Meeting

Power and Influence

Leadership Principle: Persuasion

This ARCH National Strategy Learning Collaborative focused on using persuasion towards implementing the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. Persuasion comes into play when presenting ideas, proposals, or strategies to enable organizational change as people and organizations can be resistant to change, especially if they’ve followed the same processes for years.  Persuasion skills also empower you to present ideas effectively, encouraging others to embrace positive changes that will benefit the organization and the caregivers it serves.

Power and influence are also used to get others to act; power is based on positional authority while influence is based on relationships. Persuasion skills allow you to change or inspire another person’s viewpoint by influencing them through verbal or nonverbal communication.

Updating Lifespan Respite Grant Activities that Align with the National Strategy.  Prior to our discussion on persuasion, we will be reviewing the matrix on State Lifespan Respite Grant Activities Aligned with National Strategy Goals and Outcomes. In the next few months, we will be gathering updates on our progress towards goals and objectives that each state has selected to work on.
