The first part of John C. Maxwell's Leadership Model is Influence.
What is Influence? Here are some insights:
- Sociologists estimate that even the most introverted individual will influence ten thousand other people during his or her lifetime
- Everyone influences someone
- We don't always know who or how much we influence- think about the people who influenced you in a powerful way, or the little things that meant a lot to you
- The best investment in tomorrow is to develop your influence today- if you have the desire to accomplish something, you will be in a better place to do it if others are willing to help
- In the book Power and Influence, the three components of the "power triangle" are communication, recognition, and influence
Influence can be developed into five stages called the 5 Levels of Leadership:
- Position- rights, follow because they have to
- Permission - relationships, want to follow
- Production - results
- People Development - reproduction
- Pinnacle - respect, people follow you because of who you are and what you represent
