“Leadership is influence”
-John C. Maxwel
A leader can either be the rise or the downfall of a company or firm depending on the
type of leadership a leader implements and to his/her followers. With leadership influence, it can
greatly impact the behaviors, direction and the overall performance the whole organization
decides to take. An effective and good leader is essential to a company. A strong leader will
make sure that the vision and values of the company are implemented on a daily basis while
boosting their morale and build a strong and happy relationship with his/her workmates. On the
other hand, an ineffective and bad leader does not appreciate of his/her employees. One also does
not immediately resolve conflicts within the organization and does not take responsible for
his/her actions.
Influence can mean a lot of things, but in business it can be defined as the process or
ability of a person to change and shape the behaviors or mindset of the employees to be similar
to yours. In a business workplace or in school, influence is important to a team leader.
