Trade Review"Most books about leadership are either grounded in theory and research with little practical application, or offer advice that is limited to the company and sector with which the author is familiar. In contrast, Influential Leadership is replete with succinct, shrewd insights to leaders and future leaders about how to make things happen in their own organizations, regardless of its size or industry." * Steve Kerr, Director, Harvard Business Publishing *
"You can't be a leader without influence. This book crisply delivers the advice you need to become influential, fully tapping and utilizing your power to make a difference." * Allan R Cohen, Professor of Global Leadership, Babson College *
"The Gautry approach to influence has been a core, and the most highly rated, part of our Top Leadership development programme. This book comprehensively and coherently sets out an approach which enables managers to lift their eyes above the daily struggle and become transformational leaders." * Catriona Renfrew, Director of Corporate Planning and Policy, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde *
"I have for many years had the highest admiration for Colin and his understanding of the fields of power and influence. Influential Leadership is THE definitive guide. I will be using Colin's book in my coaching of my global CEO clients; it will help them be better and more effective leaders." * Dr. Gary Ranker, Global CEO Coach *
