In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

How you can support your followers

Publicly show your confidence in people when you want to transfer your authority to the people you empower.
You need to tell them that you believe in them and you have to do it publicly.

One thing you must know is that public recognition lets them know how you believe they will succeed. However, it also lets the other people that they are working with to know that they have your support and with the assurance that your authority backs them up. This is a tangible way of sharing your
influence.

Remember as you raise leaders, show them and their followers that they have your confidence and authority. And you find that they quickly become empowered to succeed.

Even though it is nice and proper and you need to publicly praise your people, you can't still let them go very long without giving them honest, and positive response. Try to give them what they need, not what they deserve. And most importantly don't forget to applaud them on any progress they make. Remember, people do what gets praised.

Always give them as much freedom as possible as soon as they are ready for it.

Give authority and assign duty. Make them know they have responsibility and offer assistance as needed.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
