Posted by What an empowering fact; You were designed for good things, and your thoughts, words and deeds have power to influence any person or situation around you. Nothing is impossible with faith in God, a commitment to prayer, and a well thought out plan to accomplish the dream He’s given you.
Stewarding the influence you have
Understanding the use of influence is key to good leadership. You cannot purchase influence or have it conferred upon you. Lasting influence must be acquired by establishing credibility.
Influence can be temporarily received by association with others who’ve earned it. When you borrow influence, you must quickly prove yourself trustworthy, so you’ll eventually become influential through your honest interactions with others.
Maintaining a high level of ethics will increase influence, inspire loyalty, and yield great returns for your investment in adding value to the people who have helped you achieve your God-given dream.
