One of the greatest tools a leader has isn’t money, but influence.  With that said, there are a lot of similarities between money and influence:

• Managing the influence we have can often lead to greater influence.
• Influence can be given, but it’s most effective when it’s earned.
• As with money, the more influence you have the more complicated things become.
• Influence can be invested and when done right, growth is exponential.
• We are not promised more influence then we already have.  We must be good stewards of the influence we are given.
• Influence doesn’t grow on trees…use it wisely.

Any you would add?
