TRUE INFLUENCE: Followers vs Fans and Why the Difference Matters
Share
This post takes off of the Quality vs Quantity post from last week but expands on it in a different way…
This may be shocking to some of you and perhaps not to others but I’ll lay it right from the beginning…
Numbers can lie.
But we’re still fascinated by them, aren’t we?
It’s so easy to take [...]
Focus on The Relationship, Not Just The Transaction
24. June 2011
Share
Sometimes we can treat people and opportunities like a transaction can’t we?
Like we’re walking up to the counter, placing our order then we’re done. We get what we want and then we walk away.
We might not intend to do it. Perhaps we’re just busy and trying to check another box off the To-Do list. Or [...]
4 Ways to Communicate Better with Your Team
7. June 2011
Share
If there is one thing that can kill an organization from the inside out, it’s poor communication. Even if it doesn’t kill it, it can certainly hinder it from reaching its full potential.
I’m specifically talking about communication between managers and employees, leaders and staff, and one department to another… internal communication between people and teams.
I’m [...]
Almost Everyone Has an Agenda – Recognize That
2. June 2011
Share
The sooner you come to grips with it, the better.
Almost everyone has an agenda (a.k.a. Motives), of some kind, and their agenda is rarely the exact same as yours.
Sure, you might basically desire the same end results or be on the same team with a unified goal but you’ll likely have different perspectives on how [...]
The Title on Your Business Card Doesn’t Really Matter to Them
27. May 2011
Share
My wife and my kids could care less about the title on my business card. They aren’t impressed by the superficial things or how important I may or may not think I am. What they REALLY care about is how important THEY are to me and whether I example it in my actions versus just [...]

My friend and Leadership and Influence Summit speaker Tim Sanders just released a new book that I’d encourage you to pick up. It’s called Today We Are Rich: Harnessing the Power of Total Confidence and it’s the long awaited prequel to his global best seller Love Is the Killer App: How [...]
Why You Need to Be Challenged and to Challenge Others
29. March 2011
Share
I have people in my life who aren’t afraid to challenge me. These are the people who speak truth out of love and who want me to be the best me that I possibly can be.
They won’t let me settle. They stretch me and help me grow.
Why? Because they care.
It doesn’t mean that I always [...]
3 Ways to Be a Positive Leader
23. March 2011
Share
[Guest Post by Jon Gordon]
In a world filled with busyness and stress I find that too often leaders can act like hard-charging, fast-driving bus drivers that have a vision and goal within their sights and they’ll run over anyone – even their own employees – to reach their destination. I know this well because early [...]
Hand Fed and Leash Led (Dealing with Those Who Are)
3. March 2011
Share
There are those who take initiative and proactively contribute.
Those who look for ways to grow, serve and do more than simply what is required.
They don’t need someone to hold their hand before they attempt to take a step.
They’re motivated, eager to learn, and seeking.
And then there are others.
Those who want to be hand fed [...]
Dealing with Those Who Try to Pull Us Down
22. February 2011
Share
News flash… there are people who disagree with you and some of them will do whatever they can to tear you down. This is especially true if what you are doing (that they disagree with) is gaining in momentum, awareness and credibility.
It’s these negative people who want to do nothing more than to draw you [...]
