In a recent leadership workshop, I asked participants to make a list of characteristics that great leaders might possess. One word that came up was convincing. This prompted me to talk about my Influence Scale model, where the word ‘influence’ is challenged regarding the negative and positive intent that aligns to this word.

In the episode, I explain the Influence Scale, and how we can lead people through empowerment, rather than by coercion, and create a world that focuses on the greater good beyond ourselves.
