The Ladder of Influenceprovides a powerful, yet simple, framework to help you realize the practical steps you can take to increase your influence with the people around you: family, friends, co-workers, your boss, etc.
We all have some influence, yet we all want more influence. Simple. But why, how, where, who, and when we influence others as well as how we in turn are influenced by others is incredibly complex because people are incredibly complex.
For example, the principles we use to influence our children, our spouse, our teammates, and our boss will be the same. However, the way in which we apply these principles will differ.
When we have more influence, we have more options, opportunities, and more choices. Life will always be better with more options, more opportunities, and more choices.
