When to use it

In the area where you are genuinely the right person to decide.

What you need

Somebody to challenge you once the softening is gone.

The steps

  1. Identify where you have legitimate authority.
  2. Record how you normally communicate about it.
  3. Identify the excessive apology, the hesitation, the over qualification and the permission seeking.
  4. Remove only the unnecessary weakening.
  5. State the position directly.
  6. Support it with reasoning.
  7. Invite the challenge.
  8. Respond without retreating and without overcompensating.

You know it worked when

Appropriate authority rather than dominance.

What else it works, and why

Intent
You must know what you legitimately hold.
Message
Authority is expressed through positions, decisions and reasoning.
Delivery
Voice and body carry authority.
Connection
Authority has to coexist with respect rather than become dominance.
