Leadership is one of the most profoundly complex, and at the same time, incredibly simple concepts.
John C. Maxwell states it well, “Leadership is influence.” Influence is simple and easy to understand. If you are influencing someone to do, say, or think something different, you are leading them. But understanding why, how, when, and who you are influencing becomes complex. “How do I increase my influence (leadership) with others?” is a question all of us should devote significant time, thought, and consideration to.
We all want, and at some level need, to be successful in life. And, we need influence to be successful.
Regardless of whether you are a stay-at-home-mom or the CEO of a multi-billion dollar organization, the principles in Leadership Gems will help you become more successful, more influential, and a higher level leader.
“The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born – that there is a genetic factor to leadership…” ~ Warren Bennis
