Not all leaders have fancy titles or high-paying jobs. Every human has the power to influence, and, therefore, is primed to be a leader. By coming to terms with our ability to affect others with our energies, words, and actions, we begin to grow in claiming this responsibility instead of remaining blind. Smith and Griffin continue the “I” in Team series journey by helping all humans (all leaders) consider how they will build themselves and others with the power of influence. Through real-life stories and summarized key takeaways, the authors promote out-of-the-box learning.

We are influenced by every person and interaction we have, and, in turn, we influence everyone and everything around us. We all have a choice about what to do with our influence: Will we leave a negative impact on others or use our influence to become a shining beacon of positivity? Smith and Griffin upskill listeners with tools to stay humble, lead themselves and the people around them well, and create opportunities to expand their influence in new and exciting ways.

Thus, there is not just one “I” in team, but many.

Building on the lessons taught in the first book, Be the “I” in Team aims to guide current and aspiring leaders towards being a positive influence on their teams.
