When our internal drives influence our thoughts and actions...that's Intrinsic Influence.

When external forces work to influence our thoughts and actions...that's Extrinsic Influence.

When internal drives and external forces align to influence our thoughts and actions...that's Motivation at its best.

When we exert external forces in an effort to influence others' thoughts and actions...that's manipulation.

When we work to align our external forces with other people's internal drives to influence others' thoughts and actions...either consciously or unconsciously...that's Leadership.

***

Internal - Intrinsic

External - Extrinsic

Both = Influence = Leadership
