11 Habits To DESTROY NEGATIVE Thoughts & Find TRUE HAPPINESS! | Lewis Howes

Strategic Influence

Brendon Burchard emphasizes the importance of being strategic in building influence. He advises consistently challenging and role modeling the desired actions, thoughts, and feelings to effectively guide an audience 1. This approach, he notes, is crucial for high performance and sustained influence.

Be strategic about that. And if you're leaders in the room, stop placating your people. Like leaders, especially today. They want to be so popular with their people. And I say popular is good, and that will come from kindness and role modeling the way. But challenge your people more strategically.

--- Brendon Burchard

Brendon also highlights that influence is not about personality but about teaching people how to think and challenging them in meaningful ways. This method helps shape mindsets and drives high performance 2.

   

Role Modeling

Role modeling is another key aspect of influence. Brendon discusses how high performers gain influence by consistently demonstrating the behaviors and attitudes they advocate 3. This consistency builds trust and credibility, essential for effective leadership.

If I'm the bring the joy guy, or I'm the honor the struggle guy, or I'm the high performance guy and I'm off my game, people are going to know that.

--- Brendon Burchard

He stresses that deliberate habits and conscious effort are necessary to maintain this level of influence, making it a continuous process rather than a one-time achievement 3.
