It will be the #1 trait that consistently drives your career.
Influence definition: The act or power of producing an effect without apparent exertion of force or direct exercise of command. (Merriam - Webster)
At Succession, we believe the best board members, investors, and executives in the world can influence a solution that builds consensus and drives execution to profitability.
Influence gets a bad wrap, but it's like your ego...You have to have it, but you can't wear it on your sleeve.
How Do I Influence?
You have to become an "analytical storyteller"...if I asked you the multiple value on a $100MM SAAS business...and you immediately said it was 14X EBITDA...You were right!
However, here is your competition:
Ahmad Popalyar: "I love that SAAS deal, but I like it at a 9.5X multiple vs. a 14X multiple due to government concentration exposure and macro trends. I could get to 10X on the EBITDA multiple if you brought in a CFO who could drive organic growth and helped us acquire $40MM in M&A."
Who would I hire?
I would hire your competition because she influenced me and saved me $$$.
Improve your influence and watch your career soar.
