Influence is not a choice, but what you do with your influence is. Many people waste their influence, never realizing their potential or becoming apathetic to the impact they could have. Many more spend their influence, devoting their energies to a comfortable life without having to sacrifice much. But few people invest their influence, maximizing their potential while selflessly serving others. There is an art and science to this investment of influence. Those who want to be investors are daily learners of both the art and the science. Do you want to invest your influence? If so, then it’s time to experiment.
Healthy leaders have an intentional balance of being both humble and confident. They are poised with a confidence in their giftings and abilities while still being open to constructive criticism, feedback, and advice from those around them. They are open to correction while they are also bold in their convictions. They have accurate view of their self- worth that doesn’t dip too low or doesn’t raise too high. They allow others to encourage them without dismissing it while also don’t let it inflame their ego. They have an accurate view of where their strengths end and their weaknesses begin. They can discern when they need to be more flexible or firm in decision making. They surround themselves with people who aren’t just their “yes men/women” but those who will speak truth with radical candor. They live with tough skin but a soft heart. They are eager to be ever-evolving learning leaders. To help us understand the sift through the leadership paradox of living both in humility and confidence is Sandi Wrigley.

054 Value Results and Relationships
Both results and relationships are critical for long-term organizational survival. Healthy leaders provide both challenge (results) and support (relationships) to their teams. They expect results and have very good relationships with those they lead. They are able to discern if they have a stronger bent toward results or relationships and look for ways to compensate in that bias. They actively include people around the table who are different in personality and skill set. Healthy leaders are intentionally invested in fostering accountability of results while simultaneously creating an atmosphere of appreciation, trust, honor, and mutual respect. They utilize team meetings effectively and do not waste time while team members walk away feeling valued and seen. They have an ability to discern whether the moment calls for a more “results- driven” decision or “relationships-driven” decision. To help us understand the complex intricacies of Value Results and Relationships is Project Manager Casie Asmus.

053 Cultivate Clarity
Healthy leaders cultivate clarity in all things, giving their team a shared understanding of the organization's mission, values, and objectives. In providing clarity, they empower their team to make confident decisions. They provide space for teammates to calibrate through troubleshooting and collaborate within their strengths. They encourage team to think outside the box, but to do so competently. They model clarity by practicing vulnerability in sharing their own thoughts, ideas, and dreams. Healthy leaders share the cultivation of clarity by giving space for their team to take ownership while keeping them accountable. They give space for mistakes to be made and to be learned from. They believe that a team moves with greater unity and synergy when the culture is carried not just by the leaders but by every team member. Clear is kind and consistency is key in cultivating clarity. To help us understand the beauty and tension of Cultivate Clarity is Executive Campus Pastor, Joe Caruso.
