Chris Smith | Leadership Unmasked: Building Influence Through Genuine Connection

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by leadership expert Chris Smith as we explore the art of becoming more influential within an organisation.
Chris dives into the essential human side of leadership, explaining that real influence stems from humility, openness, and genuine engagement. Chris outlines actionable steps for leaders to achieve this "sweet spot" of humility, from spending time on the front line to continually asking questions and gathering input; treating your team as a community.
We also discuss how leaders can influence ethically by aligning their actions with the values and concerns of their teams, supporting mental health, morale, and engagement. Ultimately, this episode offers powerful insights for leaders aiming to cultivate authentic influence in their organisations.
