Which statement best describes the convincing strategy?

• A. To delegate tasks to others
• B. To persuade others that your solution is best, usually with rationale
• C. To delay a decision until others agree
• D. To avoid presenting any rationale

Answer: (B)

Convincing strategy is about winning agreement by making a strong, well-supported case. It’s not just proposing a plan; it’s presenting why that plan is the best choice and backing it up with clear reasoning, evidence, and anticipated benefits. In practice, you lay out how the proposed solution solves the problem, share data or analysis that supports it, and address potential concerns so others feel confident in moving forward. For example, in a golf operation you might propose a new pace-of-play policy and show projected rounds, costs, and member satisfaction improvements to justify adoption. Delegating tasks focuses on execution, delaying decisions avoids commitment, and avoiding rationale makes persuasion impossible—none of these describe the act of convincing others.
