Communicating with Executives, Supervisors, and Managers: Selling Your Ideas Up the Chain of Command

As contributing members in our organizations, we are commonly placed in a position where we need to communicate an idea or concept to our supervisors which may not be well received.  Too many times we simply do not share the ideas simply because it is an easier path to follow.  But when good ideas are not acted upon, the organization can continue to suffer with poor practices and inefficiency.  Knowing that we are trying to benefit the organization, we must learn how to sell our ideas up the chain of command.

Consider the following when beginning the process of influencing your supervisors:

• Have I sat on an idea simply because I believed it would not be considered?
• Are my intentions in benefiting the organization with my ideas genuine in intent?
• How does my working relationship with my supervisors affect the influence that I have with them?
• Do I need to move out of an area of professional comfort to convey my ideas to supervision?
• What if this becomes the best action I’ve ever taken?
