Growing Good Influence: 10 Personal Barriers Ordinary People Overcome to Cultivate Extraordinary Influence

by Tom Greentree

Are you a good influence in other's lives? Or is your ability to help others grow hindered by your personal blindspots? We need to grow personally so that others can grow exponentially. Don't think you have influence? Think again. The reality is, if we're in relationship, we've got influence. And whether through friendships or family, at work or at church, who we are influences how others grow. But is that influence helpful to the growth of others, or is it harmful to it? In Growing Good Influence, evangelical pastor Tom Greentree explores ten personal barriers that prevent us from becoming the best influencers we can be. Through a mix of story, Scripture, theology, and observations, Tom offers practical steps for overcoming those personal barriers so we can help others flourish as God intended. Want to become a better leader? A better parent? A better friend? In this transformational self-help book, Tom Greentree guides you toward true, personal growth, offering practical tools to increase the quality and effect of your influence in other's lives. Others will grow more because you are becoming better.
