Two Steps for Empowering Influence in Decision-making

Two Steps for Empowering Influence in Decision-making

“Converting this world’s already-on-existent resources into the enlightened outputs” is one of the most challenging vocations; however, this jargon seems like nothing for those who see this world in a protracted way.

From the national toward regional stage and finally reaching the childish tables of the General Assembly, the Permanent Security Council of the United Nations or the Consultative Meeting (CG) in the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), “the world is for all” has been a speechless pretext for any good faith or malicious argument.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia, from the very outset, toward other national, regional and global mechanisms, promotion of human equality is the forerunner of any other goal. However, are these mechanisms making us equal; physically and spiritually?

The answer is always “no”; the commoners, no matter in what standing they are in, their self-expressions are compared as slugs that are crawling on a tough road, in competition with the snobs’ already-assigned successes.

“The world is for all”, until today is just the too traditional theory, but in practicality, the world’s trends are just walking on a very few decision-makers. However, optimism still prevails when everyone knows and is applying the doctrine of equality into their daily-livelihoods.

So what is the first and foremost method to convert such the doctrine into reality? Making our expressions be more weighty to our decision-makers is the answer to this. The sole scope of this paper is to make our expression be more influential, in other words, more forceful to our decision-makers, who formerly just our subordinates.

I. In-depth Acquaintance with the Issue

Drawing ten of thousands of attention to our expression is a tense work. Moreover, not a surprise at all, that it is even tougher if that expression intends to influent those on the decision-making hierarchy.

To begin thinking about means to influence the decision-making in any national, regional and international issue, the one who really wants to interfere with such the affaires, must not just “only be acquaint with the issue on the informational surface, but also the truth behind the issue.”

One of the reasons that make expression from commoners fail is that it is just the repeated informational purpose. From the very outset, we must have “reason(s)” to back out expression. So what does reason mean?

a. Meaning of Reason; Practical, but concrete It would be too philosophical to define reason within ourselves; however, having the clear defect of our reason is penetrating the down-to-earth reason of our expression, and especially makes it truly focus to the issues. Always bear in mind that the reason of your expression, until that reason becomes habitual, your expression will be motivational and persuasive to a huge number of people. You expression must not be just for your sole self-benefit or your group’s interest.

Most people fail in influencing the decision-makers, because there expression just the tool to show their images in the public. And politicians know this tactic that is why they can aggregate support from a huge number of people.

b. Honesty “Unless you are truly auto-honest (hones with yourself), you will not be able to be honest to others.

Honesty, in this sense, is referred to good faith from the owner or instigator of the expression toward the majority of the people who are concerned with the circumnavigating issues. Many kinds of expression have failed to reach its fullest potential or value, because it just represent or protect the interests of just a group of interested people.

Honesty will make you confident with your expressional stance and always prove rationalism into protecting your idea. But to make this easy, you must be honest with yourself that means your expression is not just for bank notes and public self-esteem.

II. Simple Words Used

Always be in mind that your expression to the decision-maker hierarchy is for just one final destination: good faith for the majority. So there is no need to use specific or professional terminology to make your expression hard to understand amongst the decision-makers themselves and the commoners in general.

So try to use the simple words that even a very low educated person can understand. This is one of the most effective steps to draw belief and motivation from a large majority of the people. Remember that making your expression heard and understand to all will make it more weighty to the mindset of our decision-maker hierarchy.
