Recommendation

Every day, in every action, you choose whether you want to be a leader. To increase your leadership skills, you must build your “competence and character” to work effectively and to inspire others to follow you. Consultant Timothy R. Clark argues that “influence” forms the basis of leadership, no matter how many people you influence – one or many, and that influence also requires being capable and of good character. getAbstract recommends his presentation to those who are working on becoming leaders or becoming better leaders no matter their current position.

Take-Aways

  • Leadership is influence. Exercise leadership by choosing how to live your life.
  • Some people fall prey to 10 “misleading leadership theories,” such as believing that charisma and slick speechmaking are necessary leadership traits.
  • “Influence” is the basis of real leadership. It exists on a continuum between two extremes: “manipulation” and “coercion.”
