Entry: The power of influence Wednesday, November 16, 2005
Powerful people find deep satisfaction in seeing the positive outcome of their actions. But I think they are even more pleased by seeing their actions amplified by others. That's what makes them powerful: their reach exceeds their direct influence. When you are inspired to do what your reference did for you, I assure you that makes him feel more powerful. Learn to repay the kindness by committing to pass the kindness on. That's a gift that can't be bought -- only given.
