The ability to influence others to act is considered by many thought leaders to be an essential part of any business professional's tool kit. Your sphere of influence is directly related to the number of people whose thoughts, decisions and actions you are able to influence. You will have been developing this sphere of influence since you joined the company you work for, or the church you serve, or the community you live in. Its potency is generated partly by the number of people you are able to influence; and partly by the influence they exert over others.
