Influencing Others to Achieve Results

“Without the ability to influence others, the truly important things in work and in life can't be achieved.”

Effective leaders don't just command; they inspire, persuade, and encourage. Leaders tap the knowledge and skills of a group, point individuals toward a common goal, and draw out a commitment to achieve results.

Here are some other ways to dramatically increase your influence with your people:

- Provide opportunities for wins.
- Believe in your people.
- Serve others before yourself.
- Give trust so you can earn trust.
- Think bigger for others — even bigger than they think of themselves.
- Truly connect with people.
