Leadership is Influence

Defining Leaders With Kristin Gupta

What is the secret to most great leaders? It’s not title or position that makes them who they are or what they become. It is their power to influence those around them.

In this episode of the show, Kristin and her group discuss Leadership is Influence. In particular, they talk about how a leader is someone who can influence others to achieve a common goal. They discuss the different ways in which people can exert their influence, and how effective leadership depends on understanding the needs and motivations of those being led. The conversation is informative and thought-provoking, offering listeners valuable insights into what it takes to be an effective leader.

Highlights:

02:15 - As an influencer what is the importance of your followers and what do they like? And should you know? Should you be targeting?

04:14 - You always have the capacity to influence with every interaction. And what are you influencing? You`re influencing the character of someone, you`re influencing the behavior of someone.

15:53 - I think the expertise you need to have is to be an expert on yourself.

18:08 - When people are looking up to us it can be really easy, but if we stop focusing on ourselves we`re going to lose our audience, we`re going to lose ourselves.
