Episode Ep. 025: Leading Without Authority: Building Influence Beyond Your Title
POSITIONAL POWER GETS COMPLIANCE. INFLUENCE GETS COMMITMENT.
A senior executive with every title and all the formal authority couldn't get his initiatives off the ground. A mid-level manager with no authority over most of the people she worked with kept getting things done across departments. Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs explains the difference, and why the bigger your scope, the more you need influence instead of your title.
IN THIS EPISODE • The four elements of real influence: credibility, connection, contribution, and consistency • Why "I do my job" is not contributing to your organization • Value-first leadership: the leader who spent her first weeks learning what each department head needed • The three C's of scaled influence, and why he hands his own ideas to others so they get the credit
KEY TAKEAWAY Your title might give you authority, but your impact comes from influence. Start building it now, whatever level you are at.
