Get The Rules Of Influence: Winning When Youre In The Minority Edited By William D. Crano Formatted As Paperback

author, William Crano, articulatesrules for underdogs/minority groups to influence the majority:

, Be accepted as Ingroup, as a legitimate part of the majority as part of "us" rather than "them"
e, g. We may have different goals/thoughts/preferences, but we are Canadians, just like you,
. Be persistent: Don't retreat and don't compromise
Willingness to compromise shows weakness acceptance of signals end of struggle
, Be consistent stay on message
Refuse to be dragged into arguments, always go back to the message
, Be Unanimous: everyone must be one board
Dissent signals weakness/uncertainty that the majority will exploit
, Be Flexible/show commonsense: adjust your message to circumstances/audiences

In using these strategies, minority groups have a much better chance of influencing the majority to accept their views.
Another self improvement type book, good read if you want to improve on asking questions to accomplish something, Les règles de l'influence longuement formulées par Crano sont somme toute assez intuitives pour quiconque a navigué en eaux minoritaires.
Si la minorité se fait accepter au sein de la majorité,si elle est persistante dans sa revendication etconsistante dans son argumentaire,qu'elle parle d'une seule voix,qu'elle reste néanmoins flexible dans son message afin de s'adapter au climat changeant,qu'elle évite le terrain des émotions pour coller aux faits etqu'elle ne s'attend pas à une influence radicale, mais persiste afin d'atteindre par les petits son objectif, alors cette minorité risque de sortir gagnante.
