Influential Leadership
An influential leader is someone people trust and believe can guide them to their desired goals. These influencers achieve incredible results through people. In this keynote, you will see that a one-fits-all leadership approach does not work. You must adjust your leadership style to influence greatness in others, and this keynote will show you how.
Overview of Keynote
Leadership is the process of influencing people; it’s all about motivating and affecting the behaviours of others. So, how do your leaders drive their entire team to move towards the same vision when their employees are so diverse and have a wide range of skill sets and confidence levels?
The answer is – it depends; there is no one-size-fits-all leadership model.
Research shows that employees need different levels of direction and support, depending on their level of competence and commitment. The most effective leaders adapt their style to fit the situation and the employee’s needs they are attempting to influence. The problem is that most managers have only one leadership style that they apply to everyone in every situation.
But influential leaders know how to influence each person by giving that employee precisely what they need when they need it. They offer guidance, caring, and autonomy, and provide just the right amount of direction and support to help each team member succeed. In this Influential Leadership keynote, you will discover the four main leadership styles and learn how to flex your style, depending upon whom you are working with and what the task is.
“Influence is having people follow you because of what you represent.”
— Paul Larsen
