When Influence Matters More Than Your Title
A small woman in a white-and-blue sari stood before Washington's most powerful politicians and delivered pointed statements about abortion that would have sparked outrage from anyone else. Yet when Mother Teresa spoke at the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast, everyone listened in respectful silence. She held no political office, commanded no military, controlled no corporation. Yet her influence reached across continents, mobilizing thousands of volunteers and touching millions of lives. This paradox reveals leadership's most fundamental truth: it's not about the position you hold but the influence you wield. Most people chase titles, believing that becoming a manager, director, or CEO automatically makes them a leader. But leadership and management are entirely different. Management is about systems, processes, and maintaining order. Leadership is about people, vision, and creating change. You can manage inventory, budgets, and schedules-but you lead human beings. The confusion between these two concepts causes countless professionals to wonder why their team won't follow them despite their impressive job title. The answer is simple: titles are given, but influence must be earned through character, relationships, knowledge, and proven ability. Consider what happened when Maurice Saatchi was dismissed as CEO of the advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi. Despite losing his title, executives and major clients followed him out the door, causing the company's stock to plummet. He had lost his position but remained the leader because genuine influence cannot be stripped away by a board decision. This principle becomes crystal clear in volunteer organizations, where people participate purely by choice. As Bill Hybels notes, churches are the most leadership-intensive enterprises because you cannot force anyone to show up on Sunday morning. When followers can walk away at any moment, you discover whether you're truly leading or merely managing. The proof of leadership lies in the followers. If you think you're leading but nobody's following, you're just taking a walk. Real leadership connects with people's hearts before asking for their hands, creating willing participation rather than grudging compliance.
