In this article Jay A. Conger talks about the power of persuasion in a company.  Traditionally, persuasion has a negative connotation, but it can be used as an effective and constructive way to bring people to your point of view.  To be a good persuader four ideas need to be taken into consideration including establishing credibility, framing goals in a way that shows shared benefits, reinforcing positions using vivid language and compelling evidence, and connecting emotionally with your audience.  If a persuader is successful in these four areas they will be more effective when persuading their audience.
