Developing Your Influence

The 360 Deagree Leader
By John C Maxwell

Influence is something that can be developed with the proper teaching.  Its not the position that makes the person but its the person that makes the position.

Dr. Maxwell is always saying "Leadership is Influence noting more nothing less"

Regardless of the Chapter this book will guide you on how a person can increase their influence regardless of their position within an organization


The average intervert will influence over 10,000 people in his or her lifetime.

This book literally takes a person regardless of where he or she is in the organization and helps them raise their lid by showing them how to increase his/her influence with the people they come in contact with on a daily basis.

The higher a leader's position is the more a servant they should be.  That is certainly true of  EQUIP Leadership.  A Non profic organization founded by Dr John C Maxwell in 1996

EQUIP Leadership is committed to training and developing Leaders all across the Globe.  I should know I'm just one of many that is being trained.

One of the Key ingredients about the EQUIP Board is Servanthood.  Connecting is really ALL ABOUT Others.

One of my favorite stories was about the Fullfillmest Challenge where it says
"Leadership is more dispoisition-- influence others from wherever you are"
Later on in the  Chapter Dr Maxwell talks about Doug Carter [Senior Vice President]of EQUIP and the impact  He brings to the  EQUIP Leadership Organization.

Regardless of the Chapter this book will guide you on how a person can increase their influence regardless of their position within an organization

Remember "Leadership is all about influence nothing more nothing less.
