Leaders must earn influence through consistent actions from "summary" of The Law of Influence by John C. Maxwell
Influence isn't something that can be demanded or imposed; it must be earned through consistent actions. Leaders who want to truly influence others must demonstrate their commitment, integrity, and reliability over time. This means consistently showing up, following through on promises, and delivering results. When people see a leader consistently acting in a certain way, they begin to trust and respect that individual. This trust and respect are the foundation of influence. It's about showing others that you can be counted on, no matter what the circumstances may be.
Consistency is key because it allows others to predict how you will behave in the future. If you are reliable and trustworthy today, others will believe that you will continue to be so in the future. This predictability is comforting to people and helps to build strong relationships based on trust.
Inconsistent actions, on the other hand, can erode trust and damage your influence. If people can't rely on you to follow through on your word or if your behavior is unpredictable, they will be less likely to listen to you or be influenced by you.
By consistently demonstrating your values, principles, and work ethic, you can build a solid foundation of influence that will allow you to lead effectively. It's not about flashy gestures or grand speeches; it's about showing up every day and doing the work with integrity and commitment. This is how true leaders earn influence and make a lasting impact on those around them.
