Leaders or Influencer?

Waking up in the morning what is the first thing you do after opening your eyes?

Some people make coffee, pray, start complaining about all the daily chores that await to be actioned. But for most people the first thing is?

Grab that mobile and check what has happened while you were sleeping within the world of Instagram, Facebook, Tinder, Twitter just to name a few.

Social networks are an essential part of life today, I think that very few of us who don’t check the news, the screen, and any new posts to see whether we “missed” anything when we have awoken in the morning.

Influencers are crucial when discussing social networks.

Who has the most impact in your life or on your life right now?

You follow him or her on social media for what reason?

 

Now I have another question for you.

Are leaders’ influencers?

Leader/Influencer.

 

Are all leaders’ influencers, or are all influencers’ leaders?

It depends on whoever you ask.

Although they are related, influence and leadership are distinct concepts.

We must consider their objectives and obligations if we are to truly differentiate between influencers and leaders.

The main objective of a typical influencer is to market a lifestyle, item, or brand to their enthusiastic audience.

Influencers are only one aspect of good leaders.

Influencing others to work towards a shared vision is the process of leadership.

While leadership cannot be value-neutral, influence can.

Influence of marketers, influence of authors more is required for leadership then giving people the power to work on building a future that is in line with their own values.

A system can transform deeply and urgently with the aid of leadership. With influence there is a lot more needed.

Influencers drive ideas, whereas leaders drive people. To transform ideas into reality, leaders must learn how to formalise concepts and activate teams.

Great leaders bring about change among known individuals, environments, and occupations. A leader’s charisma or a persuasive speech can produce a group of followers.

However, influencers need more than just leadership to change strangers’ ideas or ideals and have them follow them into uncharted territory.

Leadership has more to do with who you are than what you can impact.

Without leadership, influence is possible but will only last briefly.

As you improve being a leader, make space within your life or business for others to grow and impact others positively. As a result, leaders develop organic influence and serve as change agents.

When influencing someone, a person has a certain aim in mind which determines whether the influence was successfully based on whether the target was reached.

Influence is a common component of leadership and is typically including the idea that the person being influenced has evolved into a better version of themselves; someone who is capable, competent, and confident.

We all have an impact on others. Which can be good or bad (positive or negative).

Leaders are conscious of their power. To have the influence they seek; individuals adjust their thinking and actions.

They are conscious of themselves and their surroundings.

Leadership requires more than just the capacity for influence.

This indicates that they are aware of how their emphasis, behaviours, and beliefs impact other people, also able to read a situation to determine the appropriate language, behaviours, and beliefs.

Although, who do you follow, influencers or leaders?
