I signed up to coach baseball. I got a leadership masterclass.

If influence is what makes leadership possible, what creates influence? And does how we influence change across settings or are the principles the same?

In this episode, Arbinger’s Brian Fulkerson takes outward mindset principles from the boardroom to the baseball field and discovers that the fundamentals of leadership are universal. Across age and context, positive influence grows from the same source: how we see and treat the people we lead.

Ideas we explore:

02:14 – What to do when you discover you’re the problem.

05:48 – How do you see kids?

10:42 – How to develop influence with challenging kids.

15:57 – Working through the classic parent-child power struggle.

19:14 – Community as a core component of meaningful influence.

27:12 – The decades-long impact positive influence can have.
