Change the Way You Persuade

• Gary A. Williams
• Robert B. Miller

Managers typically use a one-size-fits-all approach when trying to influence their bosses and colleagues. New research shows that’s a mistake. Persuasion works best when it’s tailored to five distinct decision-making styles.

The Idea in Brief

Your proposal was brilliant, your logic unassailable, your argument impassioned. So why didn’t your CEO buy your proposal?

Chances are, you took a one-size-fits-all approach to persuasion. But different executives use different styles when deciding whether to accept an idea: Each wants certain kinds of information, at specific steps in the process.

One decision-making style isn’t better than another. But to tip the outcome your way, you must understand your listener’s preferences—then tailor your persuasive efforts accordingly.

The Idea in Practice

Five Decision-Making Styles

Consider this fictional scenario: Sales and Marketing VP Mary Flood knows her company must become more customer focused. She recommends decentralizing her operations into regional account teams—but needs her CEO’s support. Here’s how she’d argue her case, depending on her CEO’s decision-making style.

It’s happened to you before. You call a meeting to try to convince your boss and peers that your company needs to make an important move—for instance, funding a risky but promising venture. Your argument is impassioned, your logic unassailable, your data bulletproof. Two weeks later, though, you learn that your brilliant proposal has been tabled. What went wrong?

Problem-solving therapy (PST) is a brief, empirically supported, cognitive-behavioral intervention aimed at training clients to identify, evaluate, and resolve everyday problems through the methodical application of problem-solving skills. In addition to teaching specific coping skills, PST emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive problem-solving orientation and a rational problem-solving style (D’Zurilla & Nezu, 2010 ).

An individual’s problem-solving orientation encompasses how one perceives problems, to what/whom they attribute these problems, how they appraise problematic situations, and the degree to which they view their problems as under their control. A major goal of PST is to help clients view problems as solvable challenges instead of insurmountable impasses.

This paper presents a brief analysis of most known problem solving theoretical models realized using epistemological categories such as observer position, object of study, methods and procedures, and descriptive or explicative scope. The review showed linear and cyclical models, the need to recognize method's limitations to generalizing, the relevance of expliciting observer position, and a diffuse delimitation of the object problem solving as a cognitive process. An integrative and molar theoretical model of problem solving as a dependent variable is proposed whose variations go with critical cognitive processes (information processing, comprehension, reasoning, cognitive styles, and attitudes). Its molar feature refers to that it integrates basic and high order processes in a general cognitive activity; this proposal has to be extensively tested.

In this paper we will document that real-life problem solving in complex situations demands both rational (scientfic) and intuitive (artistic) thinking. First, the concepts of art and science will be discussed; differences and similarities will be enhanced. Thereafter the concept of group problem solving facilitation both as science and art will be presented. A case study related to examination's planning will be discussed to illustrate the main concepts in practice. In addition, other cases studies will also be shortly presented.

—Problem is something that we can never get rid of, how much we try and howmany anticipatory actions we take. Therefore, to deal with problems in our everyday life, every project implementation is to solve the problem as and when required. In this article we will try and study about problems and the techniques and methods by which we can solve it or mitigate the situation. Again it is worthy to mention as a prelude and also to conclude that problem solving is an individual skill and it therefore varies from person to person and from situation to situation and there exist no thumb rule to redress ay problem as a generalized rule. By the end of this article, we will try and develop certain tools by which we may approach a problematic situation before redressing the problem.

Problem solving research is in need for re-thinking main questions. The purpose of this paper is a stock-taking of some of the identified problems, to discuss potential remedies for them, and to look for future perspectives. I see three areas for discussion: (1) What are the phenomena to be explained? (2) What methods should be used? What methodology is appropriate to the subject? (3) What is the progress in theory since the legendary work from Newell and Simon (1972)? What can we expect from new data sources? How can we relate data to theoretical assumptions?

RATIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING

Introduction

Rational problem solving is an important component of successful decision-making. It involves the use of logical reasoning and critical thinking to determine the best possible solution to a problem. Rational problem solving is a cognitive process that involves analyzing a problem, breaking it down into its component parts, developing possible solutions, evaluating the possible solutions, selecting the best one, and then implementing it. The ability to effectively use rational problem-solving processes is crucial for success in both academic and professional settings.

Rational problem solving is a cognitive process that involves analyzing a problem, breaking it down into its component parts, developing possible solutions, evaluating the possible solutions, selecting the best one, and then implementing it. It is a systematic approach that follows a logical sequence of steps to reach an optimal solution. This process can be broken down into five distinct stages: problem definition, problem analysis, solution generation, solution evaluation, and solution implementation.

Problem Definition

The first step in rational problem solving is to define the problem. This involves identifying the issue and determining its cause. Once the problem has been identified, it is important to consider the context and potential implications of the problem. This step requires an understanding of the objectives and constraints of the problem.

Problem Analysis

The second step in rational problem solving is to analyze the problem. This involves exploring the components of the problem and identifying potential solutions. It is important to consider the resources available and the potential impacts of the various solutions.

Solution Generation

The third step in rational problem solving is to generate potential solutions. This involves brainstorming possible solutions and considering the pros and cons of each. It is important to consider the feasibility and potential costs of each solution.

Solution Evaluation

The fourth step in rational problem solving is to evaluate the solutions. This involves comparing the solutions in terms of their effectiveness, cost, and impact. It is important to consider the potential risks and consequences of each solution.

Solution Implementation

The fifth and final step in rational problem solving is to implement the solution. This involves taking action to implement the chosen solution. It is important to monitor the results of the solution to ensure that it is achieving the desired outcome.

Wordapp Has Plenty of Freelance Writer Jobs Available

Wordapp is an awesome word processing platform for a freelance writer. It makes it incredibly easy, and extremely fast for you to produce creative and accurate content. Instead of time spent searching for work and doing endless administrative tasks, you can focus solely on your love of writing. We are looking for Wordappers to join our friendly freelance crowd, and we have work available in 25 different languages!

How Can Wordapp Make Life Easy For A Freelance Writer?

Interesting work, self-development, motivation, and friendly workmates are what most people long for. A job that drives you to get out of bed every morning, and one that you enjoy so much, that it never feels like work. Freelance writing offers just that. Combined with the Wordapp platform, the advantages are overwhelming. There is no need to hunt, or bid for freelance jobs every day, just open your task feed, and choose the work you like. The administration is minimal, feedback is fast, and there is no worry that you will not get paid for your hard work.

How Do Payments Work In Wordapp For A Freelance Writer?

Freelance writer pay is usually an ongoing concern for most online scribes. This is why Wordapp wants to help everyone to ‘monetize their language assets’ and earn an extra income. As a writer, you are not just selling your writing skills; you are selling your time and your love of language. Spending hours researching, and getting creative, to then not get paid, can be soul destroying. Freelance writer salary payments are taken very seriously at Wordapp. You will get paid what you have been promised, for every task that is approved by the publishers.

Any freelance writer will spend almost half of their time applying for work. Pitching your freelance writer fees in a competitive environment is difficult, and very often, all that hard work comes to nothing. Once you are a verified writer with Wordapp, you log in and select the job you want to do. Meaning that your freelance writer income is assured. Each task shows the payment amount, and you can track the progress of tasks in the reports provided. Once a task is approved, the money will be credited to your withdrawable balance. Balances over 50€ are paid out every single week, and any balances under 50€ are paid on the last Friday of every month.

5 Reasons To Write in Wordapp As A Freelance Writer

Forging a freelance writing career can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially as a new writer. There are so many places to look for work, and there are no guarantees. With Wordapp, work that you enjoy is there waiting for you, and you can take your pick. You do not even need to be an experienced writer to start. The workflow processes are extremely well organized, so there is no need to waste time writing e-mails or doing other time-consuming administrative tasks. Unlike most other freelance writer jobs, you are free to focus on the writing!

Every task comes in a pre-processed template, with clear instructions and sample texts for you to refer to. The rules regarding word count and keywords are already there for you and are checked automatically as you write. You will also get fast, constructive feedback from an editor. Unlike most freelance writer jobs online, you will even get to do some editing yourself, if you choose. Wordapp is an intelligent system, which uses machine learning algorithms, that get to get to know you personally over time. There is no need to search through freelance writer websites for your favorite work. This system means that you will always be provided with tasks that you love.

No Experience As A Freelance Writer? No Problem In Wordapp!

Because of the advanced technology provided, even a freelance writer with no experience can work for Wordapp. If you are just starting out in your career, it is the ideal platform for you. Submitting a freelance writer resume with no experience to offer, will typically result in minimal work. However, with this platform, there are no skills needed in HTML or SEO, as would normally be the case. You just need native language skills and the ability to research accurately! All new writers receive individual coaching and help with their texts until they reach a certain level. This ensures that you get to know how the Wordapp system works, as well as some of the needs of regular customers.

Normally, as a freelance writer, requirements can be confusing and feedback exceedingly rare. Wordapp utilizes a simple system, where each task completed is awarded points. This allows writers to increase their level gradually, and to gain access to additional work. Each level is based on the Fibonacci sequence, and controls how many tasks that you can have pending approval. Once you have completed 30 tasks on at least three projects, you will then become a verified writer, and also be able to do editing work. Also, as your level increases, you will have access to more complex tasks, and be among the first to know about any new projects. Freelance writer jobs for beginners have never been so easy!

Enjoy the Freedom of Working As A Wordapp Freelance Writer

If you have good native language skills, enjoy research and love words, then Wordapp is for you! If you want to work for ten minutes, or ten hours every day, it is your decision. Freelance writer jobs from home with Wordapp are that flexible. Working when you want, and where you want, are just some of the advantages of being a freelance writer online. Choosing how much you work every day, allows you to fit in family commitments and have some fun too. You can work in your pajamas and take as many coffee breaks as you want. You can start early and take an afternoon walk, or write in the evenings and burn the midnight oil.

Being a freelance writer working from home does not mean that you need to stay at home every day. You can work at your local café or in your favorite country spot, giving you a change of scenery, and making your creative juices flow. Wordapp is so flexible that freelance writers can travel, or even live abroad, as they work. The Wordapp crowd includes multi-linguists, regular travelers, and expats living in many different countries across the world. Imagine having the opportunity to write overlooking the Mediterranean sea or while backpacking around Australia.

Freedom Matters. What Are You Waiting For?

Freedom matters to everyone, so do not wait any longer. If you are searching for freelance writer employment, then look no further. Wordapp offers the perfect solution for a flexible lifestyle.
