Why do some people become good leaders, yet never become leaders of influence? Furthermore, do good leaders know their primary function is to influence members of their staff, including their managers, and employees?

"The most important leadership lessons I have learned in over thirty years of leadership, says Vann, is to influence and develop others around you."

In order for a good leader to become a leader of influence, they must develop all members of their staff to become leaders. By developing other leaders, the organization as a whole maximizes its human potential, develops a competitive advantage in its industry, and improves its bottom line.

The fact of the matter is this, no matter whether you are an employee or manager without the title of the leader of a company or organization, you are still a leader in your role. You do not have to have the title of a leader to be one. Leadership Is Influence can help you to become a leader and over time, you can become a leader of influence, you have to do the work to make it happen.
