4. What's the most recent significant leadership lesson you've learned?
The most effective influencers learn to communicate great outcomes.
When people paint a picture of a great outcome, they’re not trying to persuade people to do something important. They’re trying to positively influence them to get them to a better place.
Helping someone get to a better place requires you to know something about their current situation and where they hope to be in the future. #WinTheDay
