The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
Influence is the currency of leadership. Without it, you cannot lead.
Influence is the silent power that gets things done without coercing or commanding.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work.

Influence is not about elevating yourself, but about lifting others.
Influence is the new power – if you have influence, you can create change.
Influence is like a savings account. The less you use it, the more you've got.
