John Maxwell once wrote "Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less." Last week I was inquiring if there even was a concrete method to gaining that influence. Well. . .here's what I got: Esotericism. Influence is the ability to compel others to do certain actions. With that, others will be apt to doing those actions if they have reached a certain level of appreciation of y'all's relationship. One thing that I have noticed builds that appreciation is esotericism. Its something peculiar about it that makes people feel special and included. Nicknames, private outings, special spots, and etc all are included in the idea of esotericism. Imagine--becuase its improbable-- if you had the ability to build that many relationships on that level.
Well its probably not going to happen. What I've noticed many people do is start with a small amount of people. Others then deem this person as the guy/gal to be around and begin making attempts to join his/her entourage. The trick is, however, is to keep availability limited. This makes them value your presence more and yadda yadda.
[Insert persuasive conclusion here]
2 ppl talkin' to me:
You're both esoteric and influential, and there's no doubt in my mind that you have the ability to build up to ultimate leadership; more-so than the leadership that you've already obtained now.
Oh, and we posted our blogs at the exact same time! I guess great minds think alike!
