Leaders Influence

As a leader, you influence your peers, as well as the people you lead. How do you cultivate that influence? Well, helping people and pouring into them is a great place to start. Praying for your team members and peers, setting an example of honesty and integrity, and helping others in their time of need are a few ways you can follow Jesus’ example, which will ultimately increase your level of influence. In fact, John Maxwell discusses the critical connection between influence and helping people in the next post.


GP - INFLUENTIAL_MWM_JULY


Read

Philippians 2:3-4

Pray

Jesus, You are the ultimate example of someone who cared for people by helping them, and Your influence was paramount. Please help me to find ways to add value to my people, not simply for my own selfish gain, but out of a genuine desire to serve them as You did.

Reflect

What am I doing each day to help the people in my life or on my team?

Respond

Intentionally look for ways to add value to the people in your life by serving them and helping them in the best way you can.

The Wrap Up

When you intentionally add value to people and help them as Jesus constantly did, your influence will grow. As a leader, you have the ability to affect the character and development of the people around you, which is a significant responsibility. Your influence can help people grow both personally and professionally if you’re intentional about it. In fact, part of your job as a leader is to see the potential in your people and help them develop it, as the next post explains.
