About This Quote

You can’t inspire and lead people without earning their attention. You achieve that in a counter-intuitive way – by paying close attention to what interests them. The attraction of leadership is not in the power to control, but in the capacity to inspire. Leaders who lose control lose followers.

Leaders who inspire followers grow their influence and grow their influence grows their influence and their influence grows. And, as leaders gain more influence, they become powerful leaders.
