Influence Is a Subtle Form of Power

Published: Dec 1, 2004

Application

Influence is a form of power that is able to produce an effect without noticeable exertion of force or direct command. Positive influence stirs the emotions and logic of our minds to produce positive results in ourselves and others.

Positive influence is association with others. The people with whom we work and network have as much influence on our thoughts as we do on others. This implies we must be conscious of how and with whom we spend our time.

Association with great achievers may be valuable. How much time do you have associating with these people? The people with the greatest influence for you, are those with whom you can spend more time. They are your contemporaries who are high-energy and optimistic business people. They are growing a business and facing the same challenges as you. Their personal lives are steadily improving.

People will associate with you when you have something to bring to the table. Your influence upon them must be enthusiastic, optimistic, supportive and with a balance of pride and humility.

Influence gets you invited into the power circles.
