Chapter Leaders as Influencers
Leadership is organizing a group
of people to achieve a common
goal
The leader may or may not have
any formal authority
Leadership is ultimately about
creating a way for people to
contribute to making something
extraordinary happen
"People become leaders at the
moment when they decide for
themselves how to be. Free to
express themselves rather than trying
to prove themselves. One must lead
oneself before leading others.“
-- Dr. Marjorie Blum, PhD (Harvard University)
Influencer & Influencing Blueprint
Find vital behaviors
Change the way you change minds
Make the undesirable desirable
Surpass your limits
Harness peer pressure
Find strength in numbers
Design rewards & demand

Change the environment
You don’t lead by
hitting people over
the head – that’s assault,
not leadership.
