Document Summary

Some power tactics are more effective than other power tactics. This is especially true when your audience is very interested in the process of decisions and its outcomes. The pressure tactic backfires at times and is normally considered the least effective of the nine power tactics. You"ll increase your chance of success by using two or more tactics together, but only if the ones you use together are compatible with one another. Using ingratiation and legitimacy together can lessen negative reactions, but this is only true when your audience doesn"t care about the decision process"s outcome or if there is routine policy involved. Figure out how your pay compares to that of your peers in the organization. Gather data that testify to your performance. Use salary calculators (like salary. com) to compare your pay with others in your organization and job.
