Here’s a great definition of leadership. ‘Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. When you focus on the influence you have on others over focusing on the respect you receive from the people around you, it will build your credibility. Grow influence before you grow position. Grow your connection through relationships and production more than you grow your position and the respect you want from others. When you focus on influence, leadership happens.’ (J.Maxwell) How much influence do you have, and are you working on that as a part of your development?
