During the time the group discussed one chapter in a leadership book they were reading together. Studying great books is an ideal way to learn and grow, and to bring the team together.

In today’s post I’ll examine the often misunderstood value of influence… Let me be clear…when I mention influence I’m not referring to manipulation, elaborate schemes, or other forms of skulduggery. Innate, raw intelligence while certainly something to be prized, is much more common and much less powerful than real influence.

I couldn’t disagree more…In today’s post I’ll share my thoughts on what I refer to as the fallacy of no.
