What triggers your influence

One cannot talk about influence without reference to integrity. Integrity simply means having strong moral principle(s). See also, "integrity manifestation of character". It is good to know that the fundamental evidence of true leadership is influence.  And the evidence of leadership itself is influence. One can easily mistake influence for manipulation and at times charisma.

Influence is what helps you lead anyone to anywhere or to get someone do something.  As a servant leader, he doesn't need threat or coercion or oppression. Meanwhile, one has a better chance to influence others if only you can inspire them. As a leader you inspire them through your own passion for the task or job.

Passion produces inspiration. Passion is the heart of leadership. Note however, whatever you are passionate about inspires you. You can't influence people when you don't have passion for a particular subject or task. If you can inspire people you can also influence them. When a leader has inspiration it could be easy for him to motivate his followers to rearrange their priorities, that's for the sake of a greater vision.

We have powerful people who lead to inspiration. Without inspiration as a leader one can't lead. An inspired leader influences people.

As a leader you need influence which could be achieved through your inspiration as a leader that helps you motivate yourself to do more and pursue people to flow along and be motivated to achieve a greater vision.

Reasons why opposites Attract each other

Is there anything opposite than male and female? Yet they still attract each other after so many decades. In fact, the future of the race is dependent on such attraction. But unfortunately they fail to realize that their physical differences are only symbolic of the many other differences in their nature, the most significant of which are " temperaments ". Good to know, a negative is never attracted to another negative and positives repel each other in any field.

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.
