Leadership & Influence

 On one hand the Leadership is the ability to inspire and guide others towards a common goal or vision. It involves setting a direction, making decisions, motivating people, and leading by example. Leadership can be formal or informal, and can be found in various settings such as business, politics, sports, and social groups.

On the other hand Influence, is the ability to have an effect on the opinions, attitudes, or behavior of others. Influence can be exercised through persuasion, negotiation, coercion, or simply by setting an example. It can be positive or negative, and can be used for a variety of purposes such as achieving personal goals, promoting social change, or advancing a particular agenda.

So, Leadership and influence are closely related, as effective leaders must be able to influence others in order to achieve their goals. 

However, it is possible to have an influence without being a formal leader, and to be a leader without necessarily having a great deal of influence. 

Ultimately, the most successful leaders  have the ability to lead and influence, using their skills to inspire and guide others towards positive outcomes.
