How leaders influence people to believe | Michael Dowling | Big Think

You are right, i feel very much appreciated myself through your speech. What i am doing now that's very different from my experience I left software industry after a long time of 20 years and started my own Dhaba that is very far different from my past experience but here I am encouraging myself daily to believe myself through the staff members to get the best.

Love it

Are we that weak?

This content is truly unparalleled. A book I read with similar wisdom was a turning point for me. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

Ehh...

Plz don't pretend anything.
Be authentic if you wanna be a leader
It's all about followers
Accept your weaknessess

"Games are won in the locker room" 👍

I LIKE THE IDEAL STUFF>>> But look at the WORLD LEADERS, DIVISIVE, ROGUES.. NOBODY FOLLOWS THEM... THEY GRAB POWER AND AUTHORITY.. DOES ANY YOUNGSTER WILL EVER BUY YOUR THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP??

Nice now gonna make an army of students on my side

Very sound advice! Authenticity wins always!

Thank you

Thanks you so much 😎👊🏾

Very interesting thanks 😊

👍👍👍👌👌👌✌😁✌

Seeing the number of views (and considering what's been spoken) , I believe it's the most underrated Big Think Video !

leadership in itself is not a good thing. sometimes its a necessary bad when you seek co-ordination and unified efforts like in case of wars / revolutions / and many other examples. one good solution is constantly alternating between elected leaders (democracy). when a leader is elected , he should be kept under tight observation because power corrupts. without any leader , most of the time the same outcome is reached.

a leader is sometimes a necessary evil , but to reduce the evil side , he should be constantly alternated and held accountable for his words and actions that shouldn't be double standard. he should be the first to follow the rules he puts in place.

Hey Michael.
Three bits of information resonated with me...
Having real conviction and passion in our beliefs
Your use of a personal story to explain why we shouldn't become passive "leaders"
Being intellectually honest; leveling with people, being genuine

Thank you for this clip, I enjoyed how succinctly you gave down-to-Earth advice!

Step 1: Tell them what to believe.
Step 2: Give them no reason to actually believe it.
Step 3: Beat the shit out of them if they ask questions.
Step 4: Smoke a cigar, drink a glass and say "I knew I was right."

Unfortunately, many nation states use pervasive fear as a tool to garner subscription to their warped world views. Fear is the overarching tool used by state and non- state actors. To them it is an expedient way to bypass honesty - compassion - and pursue their greedy passions.

In Groups of people where the primary food producer isn't the one debts are owed to a dystopia is inevitable. Too bad its so easy to talk people into thinking all this stuff and ideas are more important then the primary food producer having fed all that energy into them for them to have time to bicker and fight. Because once the primary food producer can't make enough food how do jobs or governments feed everyone.

Decision defines destiny..I’ve decided to quit my job and focus on investing with my portfolio trader and manager

👊 Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible”! A money maker @evenkingsfall (his insta) says you have to THINK BIG to WIN BIG! Always keep that thought process! Looking forward to your next video 🙏

There is a third position: Searchers. Not everyone is a follower or leader.

I would rather be actually, factually correct than "politically" correct.

Anyone can influence anyone, be it intentionally or not. So no, leadership has nothing to do with influence The fact that this gentleman can just say that without any discernment shows me that he’s just saying something for the sake of saying it, not even with any real conviction. At minimum, he has not paid the attention due..

Real leadership is about leaving an impact. Influence can come about without any effort, even as a consequence unintended or otherwise. Impact however is generally achieved with intention, with purpose on purpose and is far longer lasting, not fleeting like influence can be. There is a KEY difference between the two.

Now, I’m no one to butt in to correct anyone, however I think that even most charlatans understand these basic and key differences between the two. It is a bit strange to hear such a statement from Big Think.

There's a small language barrier at the end: Instead of "just don't" you should be saying "don't just".

There's a HUGE piece of the puzzle he barely touches on. Followers need to know their leader truly cares about them, not just the product. In fact, if the leader demonstrates enough concern for the follower, the product can be just a means to the end of taking care of the workers - making sure they are making enough money to keep everyone employed and successful.

At the small business or subdivision level, this can be purely interpersonal interaction. Even a few minutes of your time spent talking and LISTENING in a genuine way can reap huge benefits. But when the company is too large for the leader to spend frequent time with each employee, that must transition into tangible rewards.

Unfortunately, most large companies keep financial rewards at the executive level. What most labor employees are shown time and time again is NOT "we win together we lose together". What they are shown is "we win, I (the leader) get paid a lot more and you get paid the same; we lose, and I (the leader) get paid only a little bit more, and you still get paid the same, if you're lucky enough to avoid being laid off."

Money.... they pay people. Everything else is nothing more than bullshit.

We have no purpose, we lost faith in everything.
Thanks anyway👍

I still want someone else to tell me what to wear

It’s important to capture people’s hearts and minds if you grab them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.

Risk management is a vital element of success for any tradr in any mar: ket. No matter the size of the cap! Tal you're trad! Ng with or investing in, losses are going to be inevitable, particularly in highly volatile mar: kets like crypt0currency. Learning how to manage risk to minimize losses is vital. Yet, it's also necessary to master risk management in order to ensure maximum gains. After all, the more you're willing to risk, the greater the potential reward.

This guy is good

Cults, religion, delusional groups are overflowing with the easily influenced.

Very selfish and capitalistic!

So, if what he says is all that matters : Trump is a great Leader...

Humans always had a habit of believing and being enslaved all throughout mankind

Very good!

The belief systems of all times throughout world history have distorted the human beings thought patterns and have destroyed the rational of the masses. Their destruction to themselves, others and the planet more recently noticeable has been recorded throughout human existence. And there were wars as well in our history that do not record the leaders disrupted thinking from a past exposure to these beliefs as a fundamental cause of the disturbed rationality through upbringing, but rather lay blame solely to the political system in place at the time, communism, socialism... it is currently responsible for the attack at the U.S. Capitol building, from those involved in their fundamental state of mind and from their upbringing of illogical thinking. This belief thinking is mixed in with the standard academical systems in place. There is much more to the human being than just pattern learning.

One of the sages of Islam (Umar) described the leader and said: I want a man if he was among the people and not their leader, he would be as if he were their leader, and if he was their leader, he was as if he were a man of them.

In the long run people follow people that can offer trust and that can serve as examples by what they say and what they do.

I like my health leaders to have a programming background. I like my political leaders to have Alzheimers. I like my cultural leaders that use gorilla glue.

Do we need to be an alpha in order to influence people? Kinda sounds like it...

influencer = con artist

I know this feeling. I've spent years pushing people away. Peopke naturally follow me. It's easy, I'm not a manipulative person. Leading people scares me because it's a HUGE extreme responsibility. Who am I to learn I DONT EVEN KNOW SINCERELY COMPLETELY WHERE IM GOING... I WISH I COULD FIND SOMETHING WORTH LEADING PEOPLE TO, A DIRECTION A PURPOSE WHICH IS RIGHTEOUS. RELIGION IS DIFFICULT. OTHER THAN RELIGION I MEAN.
