In any company, a productive executive is someone who has the ability to persuade or convince others to assist or cooperate. This ability is what is called POWER.

There are various ways to help an executive gain more power or influence other people in the workplace without creating any conflict with others.

Render special services. As an executive assign to a particular department, one should create results or provide favors to other departments that would be recognized and appreciated as a contribution to the organization. Over time, a great deal of respect and support will be gained when needed.

Emphasize visible projects. Get involved with new or particularly important company sponsored projects. Extra recognition will be gained for a job well done and eventually help in winning the cooperation of others later on.

Support the subordinates. To be able to gain respect, full assistance and accomplishment of goals, an executive must first help subordinates to achieve their goals. They will surely reciprocate to provide support during difficult situations.

Cooperate with fellow executives. Cooperation towards peers in more ways than one to accomplish their work will be a big factor to obtain their assistance when needed

Adhere to the common purpose. Many people spend time and money that bear little or no relevance to the organizations mission, vision and purpose. An executive needs to avoid this counter productivity and accumulate a solid track record of profit contribution or other meaningful accomplishments that translate into cooperation of others.

Power is an essential part of an executive’s ability in influencing other people in an organization.
