Master of Influence: Section 2/10

January 12, 2025 by Colin Gautrey

Clarity of Purpose & Direction

Do you have a clear vision for your leadership and influence?

Influential professionals know where they are heading and can communicate their purpose clearly. A strong sense of direction inspires others and ensures their influence is strategic, not accidental.

How to Score Yourself

As with all sections, consider the indicators below. Estimate your score from 0 to 10 based on how consistently you demonstrate these traits.

  • 0-3: Rarely or never apply this skill – unsure where to st.
  • 4-6: Sometimes use this skill, but inconsistently or without full confidence.
  • 7-8: Use this skill well and see results, but there’s room for refinement.
  • 9-10: Consistently excel in this skill and can leverage it with ease.

Positive Indicators (Why You’d Score High)

Someone who scores high in this section is likely to:

✔ Have a clear vision for their leadership and influence.
✔ Communicate goals in a way that inspires action.
✔ Balance long-term purpose with short-term results.
✔ Maintain momentum and resilience despite obstacles.

Negative Indicators (Why Your Score Might Be Lower)

Someone who scores lower may:

✘ Struggle to define or articulate their purpose.
✘ Focus too much on immediate tasks without long-term strategy.
✘ Lose motivation when facing setbacks.
✘ Hesitate in decision-making due to uncertainty about direction.

 

👉 Remember to keep track of your score before moving on.
