From Work To Power: Transforming Effort Into Authority

Today we’re gonna discuss how work can be shifted into power. 

Personal Power: getting what you want done

You’re probably trying to figure out how to be more efficient with your efforts—what’s in it for you when you’re producing in this area?

Personal power is satisfaction in your capabilities.

This shows up more on the back end of completing projects you’re working on.

Your personal power gets developed as you continue to make development an objective.

When you continue to stack up wins and completions in goals you set for yourself, your confidence skyrockets.

This is the beginning of independence.

Impacting Your Workplace

Being able to impact the workplace you operate within is something I and at least the rest of my fellow millennials should be able to relate to.

If you’re anything like me, you want to do more than just be average at whatever your assignment is—that has to happen with becoming an impactful force among your team.

Impact starts to happen when you become competent in your expectations that get placed on you.

Because the goal is to be impactful at your workplace, knowing the rules and confines of your space becomes mandatory—you can be a presence but it’s irrelevant if you’re not a positive one.

Most common with senior leaders

I’m grateful that I can relate with the other senior leaders that’s put in this position, because it teaches he’s me every day at this point that work pays in other ways than finances.

There’s plenty of leaders that started their campaign (the launching of their business) with not even having much finances to start—in many cases it’s simply bringing resources that they’re able to enforce leverage with.

Leads with influence

Lead with influence — that’s a tip for those that’s trying to manage with their best foot moving forward.

Emotional Intelligence

This is one of the last classes that I had to take in college when acquiring my business marketing credentials.

Final thoughts

These are the tools that we’re working with when upgrading power to authority again:

  • Personal power 
  • Creating impact within your workplace
  • Adopt senior leader ambitions 
  • Lead with influence

And exercise your competency in emotional intelligence.
