How to influence as a trainer?

Give an example: Recently I proposed and launched an internal training about company’s financial system and new tax policies. Especially focus on invoice management and business-related new policies. I think this action first gained the support from the upper echelon and then called out all staff participate in. It literally was a successful attempt. China has been currently under the tax reform. Business tax which existed for 68 years retired formally from the stage of history. We are entering into an era of the overall add-value tax and under scrutiny of tax "big data" .Because of the implementation of the tax reform less than 2 years, the new tax policies are being introduced continually, and our knowledge should catch up with accordingly. So this training was just imperative.The goals are to mitigate the workload of financial department and improve the understanding of company operation. A time when my behavior was influenced: During the training, some staff asked

How to influence someone as an instructor?

A couple of months ago, while I was sitting in on a class, the instructor was asked a question that had already been asked. The instructor made a comment toward the student that I felt was particularly unprofessional and I could tell the students were a bit shocked. A few minutes after that event, we took a break and the instructor left the room to make a phone call. I noticed that the student was a shocked but more importantly, his co-worker was mad. Realizing that something was about to happen, I approached both of them and told them if they thought that particular comment was out of place, I agree and I promised to remedy the situation. I explained that the people in our office had gone through a tragic event, recently and that I don’t think he meant it the way it sounded. I also had heard other instructors for whom he had mentored, make the same mistake. Seeing that we had a culture issue and not just a problem with one individual instructor, I realized I needed to talk to Human

Influencing someone at work

Hello everyone, When I think of someone I have influenced recently, I instantly think of my significant other. We both rely on each other daily not only as a couple, but as best friends. We are very supportive of one another in all of our endeavors both as individuals and as a couple. The influence we have on each other is substantial in our day-to-day routines, both of which consist of work, school, and other personal commitments. Most recently, I assisted my significant other in searching for and attaining a new place of employment as her previous job closed operations. I had to provide motivation and support to her, as it is not easy to lose a job, especially when it is not your fault. My significant other prides herself in her work as as a veterinary technician. Her passion and love for animals reaches beyond anything I've ever seen before. I'm really proud of her accomplishments and I wish to see more from her. The form of influence I used to motivate her to pursue othe

Work experience

n my position at work, I have an influence on the upward, downward, and the lateral organizational levels. I am in an organization where my direct supervisor only knows my job description but not what that description entails. Additionally, the lateral and downward chains are similar, but there are technical differences. Furthermore, coercive power, which is the fear of punishment or the loss of some valued outcome, is something that I am against because it destroys socialization and organizational culture (Crossman & Hardesty, 2017). Consequently, I ensured that I never communicated in a coercive manner. I was the senior editor of a weekly publication that was published both internally and externally. I had ideas on the different content that should be included in the magazine. I presented my ideas to all three tiers because they will influence the entire organization. My subordinates were all for the new direction, and so were my peers. However, it was a challen

INTRODUCTION Environmental ethics is concerned about entire ecosystems or regions or with smaller units such as species, individual non-human animals or plants, or landscape features such as mountains or forest. (Kibert et al, 2012). One business response to concerns about the environment is to express corporate responsibility to make the business a seat of economic and ethical decisions. (Business Ethics,2012). A company demonstrates its respect for the environmental ethics through corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) may be defined as the actions of an organization that are targeted toward achieving a social benefit over and above maximizing profits for its shareholders and meeting all its legal obligations. CSR for global organizations can also involve the demonstration of care and concern for local communities and indigenous populations. (Ghillyer, n.d).

- Voting with the feet is an expression that demonstrates an individual's preference through his or her actions by voluntarily choosing to participate in or withdrawing from an activity, group, or process; especially, moving to a situation one sees as more helpful. With regards to doing business where costs are minimal and revenues highest, business companies will take an interest since that is surely going to be gainful. Under this circumstance they will choose to vote with their feet since that will optimize their business operations.Business organizations, however, will love to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price to maximize their profits.

Traditionally, companies have had one responsibility: to make a profit. But the concept of corporate social responsibility holds that companies should be responsible for more than just their owners. Corporate social responsibility holds that multiple dimensions should affect a company's actions (Scilly, n.d). The concept of "corporate social responsibility" has become pervasive enough that it has earned its acronym in business circles: CSR. The term means that a corporation should be accountable to a community, as well as to shareholders, for its actions and operations. When a corporation adopts a CSR policy, it aims to demonstrate a goal of upholding ethical values, as well as respecting people, communities and the environment. Kielmas (2018). However, corporate social responsibilities come from ethical obligations, including acting responsibly and being accountable to the stakeholders of an organization, including employees, and practicing full disclosure.
