Publisher's summary

Leadership guru John C. Maxwell and his friend Jim Dornan share their straightforward, effective way for making an impact on the world: make an impact on individual people. How? Through influence. How to Influence People will empower you on your journey to becoming a potent and positive influence in your relationships both great and small.

By pouring your life into other people, which is Dr. Maxwell's definition of "mentorship", you can truly make a difference. And when you have a meaningful impact on the lives of those around you - from your children and coworkers to your customers and the barista at your favorite coffee shop - it makes a difference in your life, too.

You'll learn to perceive the stages of influence in your relationships and skillfully navigate your progress - from perfect stranger, to helpful confidant, to inspiring mentor - until, ultimately, you attain the highest honor there is for an influencer: becoming a multiplier of other influencers.

Life changing!

My pastor is doing a mentor class where we meet monthly and go over each chapter. We just finished our last chapter. This book is most definitely an eye opener! I read the book and sexy to listen to it. One can never go wrong in wanting to be a better person for the sake of others and self. God bless you!

This is a must read book for aspiring leaders

If you are a supervisor or manager and are struggling with getting the team motivated this is the audiobook for you. Also, if you are looking to mentor someone I'd strongly suggest getting a copy of this book.

One of the BEST!

I just recently had a conference with a guest speaker that referenced quotes from this book and gave recommendations of the book. I found it fascinating that the speaker referred a book that I had already read! :-)

Good stuff

It was good but maybe I had higher expectations. Easy listening. It's good to listen to little chunks at a time to let the material sink in.
