Add to this the need for energy, trust, and emotional intelligence, then no wonder the truth about leadership is easier “talked” than “walked”.

The Importance of Selling Yourself Externally: Harnessing the science of Persuasion
Generating new allies within the organisation is a prerequisite for developing your internal influence and network of support.

Whatever the position you occupy, you are a representative of your organisation. If you have a strong network of allies externally who think well of you, this will enhance your organisation’s reputation.
