Influencing for the wrong reasons
If you feel like you're influencing others for the wrong reasons, ask:
- How am I drawing attention to myself, and away from others?
- What is the organization missing while it’s focusing on me?
- If my company relies on me too much, what happens if I need a break, or become ill, or want to do something different?
- What do I do when I don’t know what to do and have not built up others to contribute?
- What do I do when all my old tricks of charisma or being “smart” don’t suit some future challenge?
- What happens if my moral compass becomes shaky, or if I did not develop one before becoming the charismatic leader everyone adores?
- If I have created this reliance on me, who will help me recognize this and change?

Charisma without purpose
Organizations with big visions are led by people who display significant charisma in order to keep the vision moving forward.
The leader must supply more charisma to keep the dynamic humming; the need shifts to growing charisma, not the organization’s ability to grow itself.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
