The Persuasion Pack - Two...

The Pack of Cards of IT and Business Persuasion - Two

In IT, perception is more important than performance. Assuming that your IT team performs, isn't it annoying that people still have a go at you as a department? That is becuase while what you do is clearly important, what people think you do, is even more so.

So, to help your perception, your business relationships and your career - welcome to the pack of cards of persuasion:

TWO

People are predictable – 95% of the thoughts that you have today will be the same that you had yesterday - and the same with everyone else.

How to apply today - If you want to know how someone will think, feel and behave about something - ask yourself how they have done so before.

The IT Deal - Do this, or do something else. (If you choose to do nothing, please stop complaining about things, because it does our heads in.)
