According to Maxwell (2007), “…leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less” (p. 11). Do you agree or disagree? Explain. (Transcript of video attached)
Maxwell (2007) challenges you to use your responses to the following questions to determine your methods of influence. What do you rely upon most to persuade people to follow you? Rate yourself 1 (not a factor) to 10 (continual reliance).
Character – who you are
Relationships – who you know
Knowledge – what you know
Intuition – what you feel
Experience – where you have been
Past Success – what you have done
Ability – what you can do
How can you capitalize on your strong methods of influence (those with high scores)? How can you optimize or better utilize your methods of influence with low scores?
