Leadership guru John C. Maxwell and his friend Jim Dornan share their straightforward, effective way for making an impact on the world: make an impact on individual people. How? Through influence. How to Influence People will empower you on your journey to becoming a potent and positive influence in your relationships both great and small. By pouring your life into other people, which is Dr. Maxwell's definition of "mentorship," you can truly make a difference. And when you have a meaningful impact on the lives of those around you—from your children and coworkers to your customers and the barista at your favorite coffee shop—it makes a difference in your life too.You'll learn to perceive the stages of influence in your relationships and skillfully navigate your progress—from perfect stranger, to helpful confidant, to inspiring mentor—until, ultimately, you attain the highest honor there is for an influencer: becoming a multiplier of other influencers.
