#3631: Influence Is NOT Power
I see a lot of people confusing influence with power, and they’re not the same thing. Influence is indirect. It depends on attention and trying to sway people. Power is direct. It’s the ability to make things happen and create real outcomes.
When you rely only on influence, you’re depending on others to act, and that’s a weak position. Power puts you in control because you can execute without waiting on anyone. In this episode, I break down why mixing these up can leave you thinking you’re stronger than you actually are.
Show Notes:
[02:33]#1 Influence requires visibility. Power does not.
[10:23]#2 Influence persuades.
[14:55]#3 Influence fades when attention shifts. Power persists under silence.
