It’s critical for those in places of leadership to lead with healthy, growing influence and not from position or title. Here are five secrets to help you grow your influence with those you lead.

To Reflect on…

1. What am I doing to build trust with my family, team and those I lead?

2. Where am I being generous so that others can benefit and how can I measure that generosity?

3. To whom will I express gratitude this week, and how many times will I do it?

4. Who helped me get where I am, and how will I express my appreciation to them?

5. What will I do to discover my “why” and how it complements others’ “how” and “what”?
