Are You an Influence Apprentice, Adept, or Master?
Mastering influence is not about tricks or quick fixes—it’s a skill, refined over time. The greatest influencers make things happen effortlessly, as if by magic—but behind that magic is strategy, practice, and deep understanding.
This self-assessment is built on my research at Warwick Business School and insights from my book Influential Leadership. It’s designed to help you reflect on where you stand today and develop a clear pathway toward greater influence and achievement.
How do you measure up?
Are you a Master, moving with poise and grace, shaping outcomes with ease? Or are you still the Apprentice, experimenting but not yet sure what really works? Wherever you are now, this is your opportunity to take stock, build clarity, and move forward with purpose.
➡ Let’s find out.
