Your capacity to influence others evolves over time.

Even without consciously working at it, you invariably perceive what works well for you, in what context and with what kinds of people. And hopefully, you intuitively adjust the way you interact with others.

However, your influencing abilities will improve faster if you proceed in a more conscious manner. The more you observe the achievements (and failures) of others, the more you will practice tactics that make sense to you. The more you analyze in hindsight the results you have achieved, the better the quality of knowledge and mental models that you create for yourself.

This wealth of knowledge will then be available for you to make further successful adjustments to the way you influence and inspire others.
