Authority vs. Influence & the Professional Relationship Account

You don’t need an authority position to have power; you need influence.

Overview

Having a position of authority is only one small piece of being a leader. A more important aspect of being a leader is exercising your influence. The savviest leaders know that behaving in ways that influence the feelings, thoughts, and actions of others is the piece that will ultimately give them traction.
