Eight Ways to Increase Your Leadership Influence and Success
My parents reminded me, “Steve, be an influence,” every time I’d head out the door growing up. They taught me, challenged me, and reminded me to always be the influencer… the leader.
Do you need to increase your influence with others?
Here are eight ways to increase your influence and success in the months to come:
1. Reflect: Start your day slow by being thoughtful and seeking new insights for effectiveness.
2. Skills: Whatever your core strengths may be, hone your craft daily.
3. Integrity: Close the gap on any unfulfilled promises you make to yourself and others.
4. Priority: Figure out your main “thing” and engage in it daily. Know your business and what’s not your business.
5. Wisdom: I love the quote by Pastor Ed Young, “Knowledge fills heads but wisdom changes lives.” Read wisdom literature!
6. Success: Define it, document it, see it, and seize it.
7. Confidence: Every life you touch, every moment you live, live with undeniable confidence. Daily disciplines that make you feel confident are worth finding and making a part of your daily routine.
8. Connection: Be emotionally intelligent, self-aware, charismatic, caring, and show people you care by really caring for them.
If we work on these, we will increase our influence with others and success will follow. Every day, in any way you can, be an influencer of goodness and excellence.
Here’s to growing your influence and success!
