Influential people are those who have a profound impact on everyone they meet. They innovate, they speak their mind, and they propel themselves forward toward success. The people who become influential are those who are confident enough and have the wherewithal to make their presence felt. These kinds of people have certain traits in common.
For example, they are almost always independent thinkers. They aren’t swayed by trends or the whims of public opinion. They form their own opinions carefully over time, using facts to reinforce their beliefs. Influential people are also often disruptive. They’re never satisfied with the status quo, but that doesn’t mean they’re impulsive. They don’t disrupt things for the sake of it; they come in with a plan to make things better. In this way, they inspire conversation; people around them are motivated to explore new ideas. These new ideas often come into conflict with the influencer’s ideas, but influential people also welcome disagreement. They don’t react emotionally to dissenting opinions because they know that someone else might see something they’ve missed. People who share these traits are the kinds of people who have long, successful careers. Are you one of them?
