Ken Blanchard, in his classic work Lead Like Jesus, concludes that there are two groups of people who influence us as leaders: our family members and our leaders in organizations.

What makes them different is the permanence of the relationships involved.

From his observation, we can conclude that most of the time, those who influence us are our family members.

How do they influence us? Through their words and their actions.

Do you have any advice from your family members that you always remember? How does that advice influence you?
