A call to leadership is a privilege to influence others to follow the path they need to go. In time of crisis, the role of leadership takes on a greater significance. This is because crisis tends to usher in fear, pain, confusion, uncertainty, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. To lead others effectively, a leader must command influence, and influence is more powerful than authority. This is because while authority can move followers in the direction they should go, it tends to fall short when the leader is not present. Conversely, leadership influence can inspire and motivate people to follow in the direction that they should go, whether the leader is present or not.Therefore, LEADERSHIP I.N.F.L.U.E.N.C.E. describes a leader who can influence his followers by providing them with the vital information that can assist them to navigate a crisis. Also, followers tend to put their faith in such a leader because he listens to them and to other reliable sources, to gain a good understanding of the crisis. Additionally, such a leader applies emotional intelligence to nurturing his followers and to making the necessary changes during the crisis. Overall, he remains exemplary in his character and conduct.
