What turns authority into lasting influence?
Many leaders believe their position gives them influence.
But the position may earn compliance.
Trust earns commitment.
People can follow instructions because they have to.
They follow leaders because they choose to.
The strongest leaders understand that leadership is not about having authority over people. It is about building enough trust that people feel confident in the direction being taken.
