Q&A: Understanding Authority and Influence

Authority largely stems from the positional power. You are Manager, VP or CEO. The general perception is that just followed what the person in authority asked to do. Influence largely stems from personal attributes and the ability to inspire. Mostly such people are a subject matter expert. Whoever interacts leaves with the feeling that they inspired and added value. Both are essential in leadership, but they operate differently and can complement each other effectively when combined. I recommend reading the book "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't" by Simon Sinek. In th is book he explores the dynamics of leadership and influence within organizations. He discusses the importance of leaders creating a culture of trust, cooperation, and empathy, where employees feel valued and supported. Through real-world examples and engaging storytelling, Sinek demonstrates how leaders can inspire loyalty and commitment by prioritizing the well-being of their teams.
