The Importance of Clout
Defined formally, clout is "influence or power, especially in politics or business." Clout gives validity to a message – it gives weight – so that a message has a stronger impact. It's the difference between the president walking into a room and a normal citizen walking into a room. When working to spur innovation and entrepreneurship, builiding clout allows your vision to flourish.
A Roadmap
The journey to building clout has several main steps along the way:
Start Small
Build a small coalition of people you trust to move the project forward. Here numbers matter less than impact. You want peole who are 100% committed to the vision of what needs to be accomplished. This small coalition (which may included faculty) will serve as the main cheerleaders for your project, encouraging other to be a part of it and building clout.
