All of us who want to achieve goals, whether career, won the bid, triumphed in the political arena, and even personal development, of course, very conscious of the need to boost the 'power'. In earlier times, the times of the government official, position or authority that we have we often use as the main force. However, now the more we realize that personal influence, persuasion skills and the 'lobby', gives extraordinary power which is also great. I recall one incident, where I saw a member of the deputies trying to change the flight schedule on one of the local airline counter. With a loud voice, he tried to convince the officer: "You see, right, who I am?". Officers who were smiling and showing the face of helpless wonder, it probably really did not know the father of the official. In my heart, I thought, "This is just fighting for one spot on the plane, what if he persuade others to important decisions for the State?"
The power of personal influence, even power that often accompanies the position or rank of unnecessary 'forced' to another person or the public, but also, can not come just like that. Any individual who needs to convince others, especially not just to buy products or services, but supports the philosophy, vision and mission, for example, belong to the party, could find tactics and strategies more effectively. While Indonesia is facing elections and politics, we both need to look at the importance of activities of 'lobbying' is right.
Selling Yourself Can not Instant
When the election as now, we see photos of prospective politicians can be stocked in almost all public spaces, both in miniature to giant. Almost all the lists, 'infomercial' specialty, such as complete an academic degree or even details such as relatives of celebrities, official or even a hero of the revolution, with the belief that 'credential-credential' This could affect the public.
In his book, Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty, Harvey MacKay said that in fact, every person has the aspect of selling power, be it about the experience, knowledge, skills, competencies, interests, goals, and vision. Of course, this aspect of the greater power to 'sell' it when it has been implemented and practiced extensively in daily life. The question is, Has the 'capital' we are peddled around, even far-distant days, before it is needed?
Activities' lobby ', ranging from office visits and important institutions, exchange opinions, writing in the media, writing letters and calling the important people, attend meetings, initiate the activities of public activities, it ultimately targeted so that we not only' know 'but also' known 'to others. All of these efforts would need to be done in advance, so we are not impressed as people who just want to approach others, when there are wants. If you want popular, having 'fans' alias is selected, 'networking' activities need to become routine and even a lifestyle.
Sometimes people equate 'networking' with a mere gathering - together, play golf or even a 'clubbing' together alone. In fact, many things we can do for the sake of 'networking' and we can really engage in the social arena that savvy. Do not forget that networking is the target has a strong network of friends. In this environment we need to contribute actively, helping, contributing expertise, give advice, opinions and support for people - people within the 'network' we. Thus, a time when we need, by itself to others, who were already role in 'network' we, automatic support. Only when we are strong networking, we can spread the impact more effectively, as well as a 'lobby' to get what we want. More 'advanced' again, in the political arena not only the target is close to friends and supporters are needed, but also with our political enemies. Remember the wise words: "Keep your friends close-and your Enemies Closer."
Got Vision Super flexible but clear.
Since the time of reform, we are increasingly aware of the strengths of''lobbying activities''is right. Even in the Assembly-Parliament building, the activities of 'lobbying' can be witnessed by the people through the media. This we can see also that the activities of 'lobbying' can be very effective when an individual knows to use his personal charm and quality to deliver opinions and influence others. Activities of 'lobbying' will be more stable if the individual is able to describe the issues, movements, principles and solutions along with precise and persuasive reasons. It's hard to amaze people to change the decision or support a cause, if not powerful individuals who influence the substance of the issue is not even master, in his speech. Recognizing that the activities of 'lobbying' exchanging information, opinions, experiences, and even acquaintances, a lobbyist, although appearing flexible and act as a good listener, need to be obsessive to the principles, ideology and vision aims.
Lobbying: Need Creativity
In today's most popular virtual world, Facebook, we could see thousands of creative movement started by one individual person. Association of anti-driving while intoxicated, also first started by just one person, and could eventually influence the government to make strict rules and even punishment of the people still break them. Call it another struggle struggle that could alter government decisions, such as anti-child labor movement, environmental awareness, anti-polygamy, social security and government managed to mobilize the community through 'lobby'-'lobby' who was tireless. Party politics need to be creative to find a powerful way to convince the public and government representatives that will advance the state through the principle of adopting.
We often forget that the 'lobby' is needed, highly democratic and also takes creativity. Indeed, from the activities of 'lobbying' that individuals are driven too often we can find solutions that are never thought of before.
