As leaders grow within the organization, the most effective individuals understand how to use influence to drive changes in behavior rather than authority alone. The end result of leading with influence is a level of commitment rather than simply achieving compliance from those they lead and interact with. Commitment is more sustainable and creates a much higher level of employee engagement and business performance.

Influence is not about manipulation or coercion; change achieved using those tactics is not sustainable and people will quickly revert to previous behaviors because nothing shifts in their foundational thinking, only in their actions.

Influence is about helping others identify a more productive path to reach individual and organizational goals. It’s about becoming a leader they want to engage with as they continue to work towards growth, success, and progress.
