As leaders, we need to develop the type of intent necessary to have healthy influence. We need to ask ourselves the question: Do I actually care about my team? And if so, is that evident in my behavior, values, and interactions? 

If we don't account for the fundamental beliefs a person has about themselves and others, we can easily promote, support, and encourage leaders with manipulative tendencies. Emotional intelligence frameworks that can’t account for the motivation and intent side of influence are broken from the get-go.

In this episode of The Leader Factor, Tim and Junior share The Spectrum of Influence framework, discuss influence's two failure patterns, and share 5 tactical behaviors to improve your social regard as a leader.
