Hello Reader,

Promote Ideas that Yield Benefits and Abundance

Your ability to influence and persuade others to support your ideas and projects is important to your success as a leader. However, influence should be used positively and ethically to benefit everyone involved. Here are some actionable steps you can take to apply influence effectively:

  1. Build strong relationships: People are more likely to support and follow those they trust and respect. Take time to build strong relationships with your team, colleagues, and stakeholders. Do this through active listening, showing appreciation and recognition, and finding common ground.
  2. Create a compelling vision: A clear and compelling vision that aligns with the values and goals of your team or organization is essential for gaining support. Communicate your vision in a way that inspires others to take action.
  3. Use storytelling: Storytelling is a powerful tool for influence as it helps to create an emotional connection with your audience. Use stories and examples to illustrate your ideas and bring them to life.
  4. Be adaptable: Different people have different preferences and communication styles. Be versatile and flexible in your influence approach to communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
  5. Build coalitions: Build alliances and coalitions with other leaders and stakeholders who share your vision and goals. Collaborating with others can amplify your influence and achieve a more significant impact.

Influence is not getting your way or imposing your ideas on others. Rather, it is working collaboratively to achieve shared goals and creating positive change. By applying influence positively and ethically, you can create abundance and benefits for all involved.

Beyond Myth: Reclaiming American Patriotism by Karl Bimshas

Hi Reader, Many years ago, I developed a quirky habit of writing an annual Fourth of July essay. Some years for private consumption and reflection, some years public, like my 2007 essay, which was published as a letter to the editor in the Boston Globe. Below is this year's entry into the catalog. Beyond Myth: Reclaiming American Patriotism As we mark, acknowledge, and celebrate 249 years since the birth of the United States, it is right to recall that the Founding Fathers, those venerated...

Hi Reader, How Serious Leaders Stop Drifting Leadership drift is real. You don’t fix it with platitudes or personality tests. You need a system; one that stabilizes chaos, exposes blind spots, and gives you the language to lead with authority and grace. That’s why I created the Leadership Accountability Launch Kit— a three-part entry into the Leadership Guidance System from Karl Bimshas Consulting. Each tool is helpful on its own. Together? They’re transformational. Navigating Chaos sets the...

Hello Reader, Why I’ve Been Focused on Anti-Authoritarianism (and Why You Should Be Too) For too long, the conversation around leadership has missed the mark. That’s why, nearly a year ago, I published Essays On: Anti-Authoritarian Leadership — a collection of ten essays confronting the behaviors and dangers of authoritarianism. It dismantles the myth of authoritarian strength and urges leaders to reflect, resist, and recommit to democratic principles. Innovation, collaboration, and ethical...
