influencing others

Key Lessons:

1. The Power of Emotional Intelligence: Mick emphasises that emotional intelligence is a better determinant of success than IQ. It can be trained and improved through intentional acts, and its absence leads to being out of tune with others and a negative work environment.

2. Inspiring Employees for Better Productivity: Focusing solely on financial performance and hitting budget targets is not enough. Mick suggests that leaders should consider the existing workforce and find ways to provide them with purpose, meaning, and recognition. By inspiring employees and making them feel valued, their productivity and discretionary effort will increase.

3. Dealing With Poor Behavior: Behavioral patterns can be difficult to address, especially when they are largely unconscious. Mick offers insights on how to address and make individuals aware of their negative behavior, even in situations where there is a bad boss or poor communication within a team.

4. From Poor Leadership to Great Leadership: Many employees experience a roller coaster of emotions when promoted to leadership roles. Mick explains that their only reference point is often the poor leadership they have witnessed in the past, resulting in mimicking those behaviors. He discusses the importance of finding and nurturing great leadership in business.

5. The Role of Culture in Shaping Organizations: Mick emphasizes that leaders play a crucial role in creating the culture, workplace, and environment of an organization. He discusses the significance of setting a great culture, including identifying desired behaviors, role modelling, and fostering a speak-up culture.

We have the opportunity to be impactful everywhere we go.

The Bible puts a big emphasis on being a positive example to others, as we are all called to be a light in the world to draw as many people as possible to Christ. As Christ-followers, we must live a life that reflects who He is, meaning His character & His love. 

We must live in a way that reflects who God is, and the teachings of His word, demonstrate integrity & love to others, and lead with righteousness in our actions & reactions with others. It should be our goal to imitate Christ in everything we do.

You might want a partner who has strong faith & dependence on God but lack that in yourself. You may want more people to be kind & compassionate to you, but are you TRULY giving that to others? Maybe you want certain people to spend more time with you, but if you aren’t making an effort to be with them first, you aren’t giving what you’re asking for.

The best thing we can do is continue to cultivate a deeper relationship with Christ, to better understand what He’s calling us to do & better know His character that we are working to reflect every day.

Here are 5 tips of How to Be a Better Reflection of Christ & Positive Influence On Others:

1. Live According to God’s Word 
   1. Make sure your life & everything you do is aligned with God’s will for you.
   2. James 1:22, “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.”
2. Serve Others with Humility 
   1. Doing as Christ did, serve others with selflessness & humility while finding ways to use the talents & gifts God has blessed you with to help & uplift others.
   2. Matthew 23:11-12, “The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
3. Develop & Exhibit the Fruits of the Spirit 
   1. Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with: Love, Joy, Peace Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness & Self-Control.
   2. Galatians 5:22-23
4. Be Authentic & Genuine in Everything You Do 
   1. Ephesians 4:23-25, “Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy. So stop telling lies, Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.”
5. Lead Others to Christ 
   1. 2 Corinthians 5:20, “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, ‘Come back to God!’”
   2. Matthew 28:19-20, “’Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. An be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’”

Political skills for leaders are skills that are essential for anyone who wants to be more effective in influencing others. Building agreement, alignment and alliances with businesses enable you to deliver significantly more – which helps you, your team, and the overall business.

 Political skills in management start with yourself and developing personal skills. We cover self-awareness, self-control and being proactive which are all very important skills when thinking about how to influence others at work. 

 Influencing others  is not an underhand activity, or about manipulation. Being honest and sincere is a critical part of how to influence others as a leader. Other important interpersonal skills include listening, thinking before speaking, being curious and managing upwards well. 

 Being good at reading people and situation is very important in management and doubly so when influencing others and using political skills for leaders. Less than 10% of communication is in the words being said. 

 Political skills for leaders is also about building alignment and alliances between leadership team members and those in the various management layers. When you have leaders and managers aligned, you have massively better chance of delivering on your project or activity as everyone is support rather than pursuing their agendas and moving in different directions. 

 When influencing others, it is important to keep in mind the strategic direction and goals of the business and team. This keeps you on track and moving everyone in a consistent direction which produces better results. 

 You can get so much more done within a business when you are able to use political skills in management positions. 

 Even if you are not yet in management positions, you can use political skills when managing stakeholder and those you rely on and report to. Doing a better job and achieving more will move your career progress forward faster. 

 Enjoy practicing your skills!
