How To Be Influential

Love Your Work Life with Elissa Shuck

Leadership month continues!

As a middle manager, it's crucial that you influence down through your team and up to your manager and leadership above you.

This is important because without influence you feel powerless and invisible, ultimately limiting your impact and career accomplishments.

Fortunately, it doesn't take a magic formula to create influence. It only requires intention and these three principles ::

• Inspire enthusiasm
• Create a sense of purpose
• Provide recognition

You inspire enthusiasm by showing genuine enthusiasm, communicating a compelling vision and leading by example.

A sense of purpose is created by connecting individual goals to the larger purpose, sharing success stories and impact, and fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

Recognition is all about offering sincere and specific praise, providing opportunities for growth and development, and celebrating successes and milestones.

We'll go deep into all of these with strategies and actions you can take to start developing incredible influence throughout your organization!

And as usual, Elissa shares specific strategies for influence with your team and influence with leadership.

Listen to episode 137 and be inspired to create and leverage your influence!
