Can you get people to do things for you when they don't report to you? Here's how…

Today I want to talk about The Law of Influence.

 Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.

Your effectiveness as a leader is directly tied to your ability to influence those around you.
There are 7 factors, and three key questions related to your ability to influence others.

The 7 Factors in Leadership:

1. Character  – People can sense Truth, Integrity
2. Relationships  – Surround yourself with the right people
3. Knowledge  – Study, learn. Know the facts. Do your homework!
4. Intuition  – Energy, morale, timing, momentum. What do you feel?
5. Experience  – What challenges have you had in the past?
6. Past Success  – What is your track record? Have you extended yourself, taken a risk and succeeded?
7. Ability  – What are you capable of? 

There are three key questions that potential followers have for potential leaders:

1. Do you care for me?
2. Can you help me?
3. Can I trust you?

Do you have the 7 factors?  In which ways do you need to grow?

Can you answer the questions?  Do your answers inspire others to follow your lead?

Geting this right is a key part of “Raising Your Game.”
