Wie konnte das britische Finanzamt die Rücklaufquote bei den fälligen Steuerzahlungen innerhalb eines Jahres von 57% auf 86% erhöhen? In dem sie einen einzigen Satz auf ihrem Standardanschreiben an die Steuerschuldner ergänzten. Der Rücklauf stieg von 290 Mio. GBP auf 560 Mio. GBP. Das macht der kleine große Unterschied! „Die Psychologie des Überzeugens„ ist das Meisterwerk von Robert Cialdini und findet weltweit seine Leser. Jetzt kommt die Fortsetzung. Die Wissenschaft entwickelt sich weiter, und die Autoren zeigen - in 50 kurzen Kapiteln, die auf Fallbeispielen beruhen -, welche kleinen Ursachen beim Überzeugen große Wirkung zeigen. Denn genau darauf kommt es an: mit wenig Einsatz möglichst viel an Veränderung zu erzielen. Sie nennen ihr Konzept „Der große kleine Unterschied“. Denn beim Überzeugen ist weniger mehr. Ach ja: der Satz bestand in der einfachen (und wahren) Information darüber, wie viele Bürger bereits ihre Steuerschuld pünktlich beglichen hatten.
Presents dozens of surprising discoveries from the science of persuasion in short, insightful chapters that you can apply immediately to become a more effective persuader
At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - perhaps ask a colleague a favour, negotiate with a contractor or get your spouse to put out the recycling. In The small BIG, three heavyweights from the world of persuasion science and practice - Steve Martin, Noah Goldstein and Robert Cialdini - describe how, in today's information-overloaded world, it is now the smallest changes that lead to the biggest differences in results.Offering deceptively simple suggestions and explaining the extensive scientific research behind them, the small BIG presents over fifty small changes - from the little adjustments that make meetings more effective to the costless alteration to correspondence that saved a government millions. The small BIG is full of surprising, powerful - and above all, tiny - changes that could mean the difference between failure and success.
At some point today you will have to influence or persuade someone - your boss, a co-worker, a customer, client, spouse, your kids, or even your friends. What is the smallest change you can make to your request, proposal or situation that will lead to the biggest difference in the outcome? In The small BIG, three heavyweights from the world of persuasion science and practice -- Steve Martin, Noah Goldstein and Robert Cialdini -- describe how, in today's information overloaded and stimulation saturated world, increasingly it is the small changes that you make that lead to the biggest differences. In the last few years more and more research - from fields such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and behavioral economics - has helped to uncover an even greater understanding of how influence, persuasion and behavior change happens. Increasingly we are learning that it is not information per se that leads people to make decisions, but the context in which that information is presented. Drawing from extensive research in the new science of persuasion, the authors present lots of small changes (over 50 in fact) that can bring about momentous shifts in results. It turns out that anyone can significantly increase his or her ability to influence and persuade others, not by informing or educating people into change but instead by simply making small shifts in approach that link to deeply felt human motivations.
Most of us are only too aware that, whatever roles we have in today's fast-moving world, much of our success lies in getting others to say 'Yes' to our requests. What many people might not be aware of, though, is the vast amount of research that has been conducted on the influence process. What factors cause one person to say 'Yes' to the request of another? Yes! is full of practical tips based on recent academic research that shows how the psychology of persuasion can provide valuable insights for anyone interested in improving their ability to persuade others - whether in the workplace, at home or even on the internet. It combines the counter-intuition of Freakonomics with the popularising of Does Anything Eats Wasps? For each mini-chapter contains a mystery which is solved in a way that provides food for thought for anyone looking to be more persuasive, and for anyone interested in how the world works.
