WHY KEY C-level and FUNCTIONAL LEADERS SHOULD BE INFLUENCERS

Pioneers and Persuaders share similarities such as the need for responsibility, authority, independence, persistence, and decisiveness. Entrepreneurs, often pioneers, are risk-takers who disrupt industries with innovative ideas, using a logical and analytical approach.

Conversely, Persuaders are optimistic communicators who thrive in leading teams, taking risks, and moving quickly from one project to another. The video examines whether you need a Pioneer or Persuader as an Influencer.
