Great leaders have learned the value of influence rather than control as a leadership model. This is a resource for leaders as they develop, those at a crossroads, and those in crisis. It is an excellent guide for human resource and talent management in a company or organization to assist in hiring and developing their leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrant D. Fairley is an executive coach and seminar speaker with three decades of experience who takes the reader through the big ideas of being an influential leader. Working with major corporations, governments, educators, and community groups, Grant guides those individuals and teams where conflict destroys the workplace to a fresh start. Leaders and teams are renewed through a better understanding of self and those they serve. Individuals are encouraged to see their story differently. The result is effective leadership and productive teams who take on their challenges with energy and commitment. In his executive coaching sessions, Grant takes leaders on a journey through the big ideas of leadership. This book is a professional development tool for leaders at any career stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is the leader who is excellent on task but needs more people skills or the newly promoted leader, Positive Influence will help. Grant's leadership seminars and coaching are designed to develop effective, sustainable, and renewable leaders. To be effective as a leader, a person has to be able to apply what is needed when it is necessary to the opportunity they have to be the leader. Sustainable leadership means that a person is not a flash in the pan or can only lead for a short term before effectiveness fades. Instead, with a whole-person focus, they will also understand how to sprint and run the leadership marathon. Renewable leaders can understand how to continue to learn and grow rather than become stuck in an inflexible method or mindset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeadership has many styles and forms. Organizations thrive or wither depending on the quality and style of their leaders. Positive Influence goes beyond the do's and don'ts of leadership to explore a whole-person approach to being a leader. This book celebrates those willing to take on leadership challenges at any level of business or life. It is written to empower leaders to serve their teams and customers while creating a great personal story. This book is a resource for executive coaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter Titles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Positive Influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Center of Influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollowing the Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Am I?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConductors and Captains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring the Wilderness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Time Is It?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Red Mist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding Your Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Situation Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvesting in You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprints and Marathons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Real Deal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Return of the King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Heart of the Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Doubt It!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating Your Biography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOranges and Bananas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePen or Pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArts and Sciences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lighthouse and the Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Are They?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Inheritance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoo!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShots Fired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShooting the Rapids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHail to the Chiefs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDid You Bring the Playbook?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive Persuasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Boil and On the Wobble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowing Your Motto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirefighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitting on the Bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe One and the Many\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn a Swing or On Fire?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying a Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck, Please!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Power to Forgive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking the Ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell Me a Story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage Coach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Wands and Magic Lamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobes and Crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Human Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-D Leaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExit Stage Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Been an Honor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping Old Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSail On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Executive Coach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoosing an Executive Coach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeak to Be Heard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant D.
