10 Ways To Express Your Influence On Others


Influence is an essential aspect of leadership. We lead in our communication, arguments, ideas, decisions, creativity, and actions.

Here are some ways to enhance your influence on others:

1)    Be assertive: say what you feel, speak your mind, and express your concerns.
2)    Demonstrate your competencies, and apply them.
3)    Use well-formed language, and words with semantic density.
4)    Lead by example: walk your talk.
5)    Take on challenges; do something different or hard.
6)    Work on your presentation skills (think like Steve Jobs).
7)    Solve a problem, and propose at least three solutions.
8)    Develop mastery in one area of your expertise (it can be a hobby or discipline).
9)    Teach, coach or mentor others.
10) Live with values that others can connect with.
