Summary

I’ve seen people with fancy titles who couldn’t influence anyone, and others with no title who ran the room. That’s because true authority doesn’t come from a nameplate. It comes from presence, consistency, and proven skill. In this episode, I talk about how to have real authority at work, even if you don’t have a big job title. I break down how to build that kind of authority so people listen to you, no matter your title. Show Notes [01:54]#1 People follow those who look and feel as if they're in charge.
