Leadership Is Influence.

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place."
2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)

Leadership is influence. What is influence? Influence is the ability to determine the thoughts, words, actions and behavior of
another.

Everyone is a leader, but the difference between you and another leader is your level of influence. How do you know you are beginning to influence others in your field? They will desire to be like you. This is because people want to be like their leader. They want to talk, dress and act like their leader. That is influence.

For instance, there are many youths who are been influenced by successful musicians. The fashion and hair styles of these stars are being copied by those who admire or are influenced by them. That is leadership as influence.

This is why I encourage you as a Christian to be successful, excellent and productive in whatever you do. If you are, you will be able to influence many positively and by so doing, we will not only save a generation but we will also be replicating the character and charisma of Christ everywhere we are and wherever we go.

When we influence people positively, they get better. When they are influenced wrongly by the world they get worse. So, the onus is on us to improve our world by choosing to be a positive influence wherever we go.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You teach me to number my days, so that I may apply my heart unto wisdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
