Are You An Influential Leader Or A Manipulator?

A leader's most underrated asset.
Influence.
Here's why it's so important to be an influential leader
✅your teams, kids (colleagues, counterparts...anyone)will listen to you more
✅you resolve conflict faster and simpler
✅ you get more buy-in on your ideas
✅ get the support you need
✅ other people will help you succeed
✅you have better relationships
✅ your self-confidence improves, and so does your performance.
✅ influence is the invisible driver of measurable success
Influence isn't optional—it's how you lead, serve and resolve conflict.
You influence people around you daily—whether you realise it or not.
The question is, are you being positively influential or manipulative?
And here's the good news—influence isn't about being born with charisma, being the loudest person in the room, or having the "right personality".
Influence is a skill.
It's something you learn, practice, refine, and master.
If you're thinking, 'I don't have time for this,' let me remind you: influence isn't an extra thing on your plate—it's the plate!
It's woven into every conversation, meeting, decision, conflict resolution (mediation), and the success and confidence you achieve.
Learning to influence with authenticity and a people-focused approach is essential and non-negotiable if you want to lead with impact, improve your performance, and achieve next-level results that will influence people to work with you.
➸Remember: Influence Starts With You
- To lead others, you have to lead and influence yourself first.
- You can inspire, motivate, and make a big difference to your leadership, life, and others you serve...with greater influence—so don't wait for permission to become more influential.
People want to work with leaders who think bigger and ask lots of questions, which is critical in influencing!
