Four levers of influence, a worked cross-functional scenario, and a script for asking someone who doesn't report to you.

Influence in a matrix org runs on different currency than formal authority. This playbook breaks influence into four levers — credibility, relationship, evidence, and reciprocity — with a worked scenario for getting a cross-functional team to prioritize your request, a ready-to-adapt ask script, and a short audit to find your weakest lever.
