What is the Law of Influence in leadership?
21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Series, Law 2, Law of Influence. I'm just going to take a guess and say at some point you worked in a company where you work for someone with this big old job title, but nobody really followed them. They had title-itis. And then there may have been someone else who may not have had that job title, but took initiative and people listened to them and followed them.
How does leadership differ from having a title?
Welcome back to your leadership series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Each episode, we're exploring a leadership principle that has shaped leaders all over the world, including me. Today's principle is the law of influence. Many people believe leadership begins with a title.
What are the Five Levels of Leadership?
It's just not true. They think leadership starts at the moment someone becomes a manager or a CEO or they've hired you or they're in charge somehow. but leadership has really never been about position. It's about influence. You've probably seen this in your own life. Somebody with authority, but nobody respects them, and someone else with no title at all, and everyone listens to them. That's influence. Influence is built through trust, through consistency, through helping people succeed. And the truth is, leadership begins the moment someone chooses to follow you. And you know what else, frankly? The moment you decide and you choose that you're willing to lead, you're willing to work on yourself.
What is the significance of Level One in leadership?
Many decades ago, when I met John Maxwell for the first time, I knew my life was going to change. I had already participated in so many of his books and his work, and it influenced me to go to work on myself. And so I'm so honored that we get to share this time with you today. Let's hear from John Maxwell, teach the foundation of this principle, the law of influence. Hey guys, you've probably seen the buzz, but let me give you the inside scoop, and it's huge right now. Live shopping on Whatnot, it's exploding. I've watched the shows firsthand. I cannot believe the amount of traffic they drive to that site. I've seen Whatnot climb to the top of the app store already, and I've looked at the seller earnings.
Small, medium, and multi-million dollar businesses are seeing legitimate, real growth on there.
How do relationships impact leadership at Level Two?
If you're selling online or out of a storefront full-time or even like if it's a side hustle, you already know the challenge. You're hoping for people to find your listing or you're waiting for them somehow to walk in. Whatnot flips that. They see what you got. They ask questions and they buy. Here's the hook. They keep coming back. That's the biggie. Whatnot is the largest dedicated live shopping platform, whether it's beauty, collectibles, electronics, luxury fashion, even cookies. Whatnot buyers spend more than an hour a day in their app and they're not just browsing. They're bidding, buying, and coming back. So, download the Whatnot app today and get your free shipping on your first order. Just search W-H-A-T-N-O-T, Whatnot, in the App Store and start scoring amazing deals.
What results define leadership at Level Three?
Like a lot of you, I've become even more obsessed with my health, my strength, my energy. just my overall wellness. And you know, a lot of people assume GLP-1s cost a fortune, and that assumption keeps them from even looking into treatment. But the reality is there may be some affordable options, and Roe helps people find the lowest cost path to FDA-approved GLP-1 treatment, whether that's through insurance coverage or cash pay options that are more accessible than most people realize. Roe wants to help people lose weight. And by the way, it's not just about losing weight, and that's why they have the lowest cost options out there, whether you're paying with insurance or not. They've got a free insurance checker that you can look into that makes it easy to see whether you're covered or not.
All you do is submit your insurance card. Roe handles the rest. No paperwork, no waiting on hold, no confusing phone calls. It's going to take away all of the mystery. It's really great, you guys.
