Under question one, I usually have a clear objective and goals in mind before persuade anyone to do as I wish. I ask my question based on my goals to completely lure them hence I rehearse this in advance. For question two, I sometimes tailor my argument to the character of the person I’m trying to persuade. This ensure that there is no misunderstandings as individuals' traits influence vulnerability to be persuaded.. For question three, I make it clear on what I want from them and highly emphasize how doing it is parallel to their interests. This ensures that they feel they have an upper hand in the situation. For question four, usually if I were a manager, I’d expect my subordinates to adhere to my requests due to the authority of my position. Assuming that my subordinates know their jobs, then they will comfortably do them. For question five, sometimes if I want something from someone, I assume that person is intelligent and will respond to logic, this because not every individual is logical also people with the same qualifications vary. Therefore, I become very sympathetic about people’s needs. Hence, my arguments will be well documented in relation to facts than on my formal position. For question six, sometimes when I want something from someone, I explain to the person why what I want is important, because I make this more complex that they seem to. Hence, people understand my objectives differently. For question seven, usually when I want something from someone, I try to use emotional appeals as well as logic, this because I am a very logical person and I less emotional and sympathetic. Overall, I scored 14 in this assessment, this means that I have potential for a significant improvement in my oral persuasion techniques (Robbins and Hunsaker, 2012, p. 204) Actually, I do agree on this statement because I need to focus on developing my potentials, instead of focusing on my weaknesses, therefore, I am confident that I am a persuasive person.
