Influence must be used responsibly and ethically from "summary" of The Law of Influence by John C. Maxwell

Being influential is a powerful quality that can have a significant impact on those around us. However, this influence must be wielded responsibly and ethically. It is not enough to simply have influence; how we choose to use that influence speaks volumes about our character and integrity. When we use our influence responsibly, we are mindful of the power we hold over others. We understand that our words and actions can have a profound effect on those we interact with. By being aware of this impact, we can ensure that we are using our influence in a positive and constructive manner. Ethical influence goes hand in hand with responsibility. It is not just about doing what is right, but also about doing what is fair and just. Ethical influence means treating others with respect, honesty, and integrity. It means being transparent in our intentions and actions, and always striving to do the right thing. Influence can be a double-edged sword. While it can be used to inspire and motivate others, it can also be used to manipulate and deceive. When we use our influence irresponsibly or unethically, we risk damaging our relationships and reputation. People will quickly lose trust in us if they feel that we are not acting in their best interests. As leaders, we have a responsibility to set a positive example for those around us. We must be mindful of the impact our words and actions have on others, and always strive to use our influence in a way that promotes trust, respect, and integrity. By doing so, we can build stronger relationships, inspire others to be their best selves, and create a more positive and productive environment for everyone.
