The Super Achiever's Breakfast with Sam Adeyemi.
Influence with Values
Leadership is influence. You influence someone by asking him or her to do
something along with you. If you ever have persuaded someone to do something, you are already in the field of leadership.
John Maxwell,3 leadership expert and coach, says that if you call yourself a leader and no one is following you, you are not leading; you are only taking a stroll.
Your values guide your actions and when people around you begin to recognize the values you uphold, they follow you willingly.
There has to be an alignment in the sense of identity of the leader and that of the follower before leadership can be possible. The values of the leader and those of the people who are being led must align.
I have discovered that leading is embedded in following. So the kind of follower you are will determine the kind of leader that you are.
As you begin to make impact, bonds of trust and commitment are built between you and your followers and when there is an alignment, there is acceleration and success.
