Watch the video interview with James and Brian.
When we think about it, we're all products of every word or deed that has influenced us. Each thought we have stems from a culmination of all that we've learned from the individuals who have influenced us throughout our lives. We're all capable of being a positive influence when we understand the responsibility entailed in wielding our influence.
Every action we take, word we express, and thought we allow to permeate our minds has the power to be influential. Even one small action on our part can cause a ripple effect and lead to a much larger, greater action. We generally don't know who our actions, words, or reactions may affect. But by understanding that the influence we create matters, we can live more consciously of the effect we have on others, even if we can't see those effects.
Brian Smith, PhD, is founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 19,000 CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide. In today's episode, we talk about his book that he co-authored with his daughter, Mary Griffin, Positive Influence – Be the "I" in Team ,which shares how to become our best selves with everyone we influence.
