Leadership influence is built on underlying values
My approach to leadership influence embraces three underlying and overlapping fundamentals that drive the essential core of presence-driven leaders:
​
-
Highlight Meaning and Purpose: Apply your highest personal strengths and talents to belong to and serve a greater good, purpose, or belief.
-
Encourage Participation and Involvement: Apply your greatest personal strengths, talents, and gifts with your work, family, friendships, and leisure.
-
Seek Fulfillment and Enjoyment: Apply as much positive emotion and coping skills to thrive in all areas of your work and personal life.
​
​True presence-driven leaders can arise in your organization when individuals have created a core of trust and empathy that will enhance performance, influence, engagement, and value.

"The Many Facets of Empathy"
Empathy is the ability to understand other people’s emotions, values, and behaviors. It was once believed to be too “wishy-washy” or submissive to be taken seriously as a valid approach for investigations or negotiations. But empathy is actually a highly valued dimension of interpersonal, communication, and strategic competence that can help fraud examiners more easily obtain an admission of guilt from fraudsters and gain insight into their “why.”
The November/December 2023 issue of Fraud Magazine has my column describing the impact empathy can have as a psychological tool for fraud investigators. If you're a member of the ACFE, you can read the entire article on the ACFE FRAUD Magazine website.
