Boss to Leader: The Influence Shift ever...

Damien Edwards
About this episode

You didn't get promoted to keep doing the same job at a bigger scale — you got promoted to build the people who can do it without you. In this episode of Builder Tactics, host Damien Edwards breaks down why authority stops working the higher you climb, and what actually replaces it: influence.

You'll learn the three dimensions of executive influence — Credibility, Connection, and Clarity — and five practical tactics you can use this week to build trust, develop other leaders, and multiply your impact across teams. Plus, a simple 90-day action plan to start shifting how your team experiences your leadership, starting now.

Whether you're chasing your next promotion or already leading a team of leaders, this episode gives you tactics you can put to work on your very next job site conversation.
