In this episode I discuss two distinctive types of leadership; power and influence. These two styles are often considered synonymous, as if you have one, it’s assumed you probably have the other. But a closer look at these two forms of leader ship shows they work and wildly different ways. One can spread your influence and the other can lead to your downfall. I show how those power driven who are primarily focused on financial gain and winning at all costs ultimately fail. I contrast this with a concise description of influencer leaders, those who build motivated, engaged teams by investing in their people. The episode reinforces the point that you can develop these behaviors and create a vibrant corporate culture that consistently attracts, engages and retains the best people.
