Leaders are Powerful Persuaders for their People | MWM
Be A Persuader = Persuasion is motivation. Leaders motivate others—not for their own advantage—but for the benefit of those they lead. Leaders make things better for others through persuasion. What have you experienced, that has been good for you, that you can now persuade others to act on?



Leaders are Persuaders
Persuasion is all about motivation. Great leaders motivate others to do something worthwhile that they wouldn’t otherwise do for themselves without that initial “push.” Often, it takes our own experiences with persuasion to bring us to a place where we have the ability to effectively and positively persuade others. In what areas of your life have you been persuaded for good?
