In the previous episode, we explored the tension between influence and authority in leadership. In part two, hosts Brad McDonald and Taylor Jessup dive deeper with tangible tools for building healthy influence, explore what sabotages leaders who rely too heavily on influence, and discuss why self-awareness and awareness of others are crucial for striking the right balance between earning trust and exercising power.
