Hi Charles:

Thanks for the astute observation. Looking past trust, and then expecting to be able to perform in its absence is wreckless at best.

Trust is the foundation of all other qualities of influence. It's sad that many potential leaders look past this and end up frustrated when they can't get people to act, little do they know they haven't developed trust.

Thanx

Hi David:

Your question is a good one. Transferring influence is truly a force multiplier and a key to building a successful organization. But to be clear, while influence often exists because of title and position, it can also exist in the absence of those things. The manner is which you treat your staff, the authority you give them and the respect that you afford them set the stage for influence. That said, it will be how they choose to handle themselves, and how they treat others that will ultimately determine the amount of influence they have. Ultimately the best way to insure your staff has influence is to model the correct behaviors and to make sure that you mentor them in said behaviors as well. Thanks for stopping by David.

What are some ways that influence can be possessed by my leadership staff?

Well said Greg – as with most things in life, maintaining a balance creates a positive outcome. I have found that negative self-talk doesn't bode well for anyone, but especially not for leaders. This is so much the case that I have never come across a great leader who has stood the test of time that has not rid themselves of this debilitating habit. Thanks so much for your astute insights Greg.
