How do I influence senior management? Simon Sinek

Perhaps the most frequent question I get asked is how do I influence my boss or how do I influence senior management?

The answer is you don't you don't worry about the people three four or five six levels above you because you can't influence them and so there's no point worrying about it very very often organizations that have a fuzzy why it's because senior management isn't doing anything about it and they're not articulating it and even though there may be a group of people in the middle who truly care and are driven by it.

You can't influence senior management you just kind of you cannot change other people you can only change yourself in those situations stop worrying about influencing people levels above you worry about your own situation worry about and concern yourself with the people you work with.

How do you inspire them where they're above you or below you how do you put yourself out there to see that they will be successful and how do you help each other and worry about that little community that is ultimately serving your happiness as a boss five six levels up is not serving your happiness the people you work with every day they are serving your happiness of fulfillment oh and by the way you're serving their happiness in fulfillment to
