How to Lead When You're Not in Charge: Leveraging Influence When You Lack Authority

by Clay Scroggins

The satisfaction employees have in a job is directly correlated to their ability to see how what they do fits into the big picture.

Leaders who bring a trust-fueled, hope-filled, forward-thinking attitude every day can change any team dynamic.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time” (1 Peter 5:6).

Every good leader is also a critical thinker.

Keep your blood pressure as low as possible when communicating feedback. If you can’t talk about it without getting emotional, you’re not ready to talk about it.

Great leaders don’t get defensive.

Start asking yourself what type of leader you want to be tomorrow. And start becoming that type of leader today.
