7. • The only influence a positional leader has is that
which comes with the job title.

the highly educated.

independent.

ability and effort to achieve.
• Anyone can be appointed to a position.

leadership position. Everything is
wrong with using position to get
people to follow.

value, you begin to develop
influence on them. You develop
trust. The environment becomes

and reproduce other leaders.

others and helping them become
better people and leaders.
