Overview
The word “influence” has both positive and negative connotations. In reality, everyone is influenced by others whether we like it or not. Influence can be of two types: transactional or transformational. In a corporate environment, an influential leader needs to get people to follow a particular direction and produce a specific outcome willingly. We aspire our influence to be transformational. Such influence is the product of trust and relationships one builds by demonstrating core values. A Heartful leader demonstrates transformational core values in their everyday interactions that have long-lasting influence and outcomes. We will explore examples of transformational leadership and how to emulate them in our lives.
