Individual Influence: Find the I in Team
Brian Smith, PhD and Mary Griffin
In Individual Influence, authors Brian Smith, PhD and Mary Griffin make a persuasive case that even a company or team of individual players is still an "Individual" at its core-expressing the collective influence of all those who play a role in it. Thus, there is not just one "I" in team, but many.
Demonstrated through real-life experience working with and leading teams, the authors cover many transformative concepts, including:
- How to be your best self so that your unique influence radiates from you
- Reaping the benefits of slowing down and existing within the moment
- How to delegate, hold accountable, define values, and achieve balance
- Setting realistic success criteria for yourself and learning to celebrate small victories
- Gaining more significant influence over your own conscious thoughts and reshaping your reality
