Top Ten Ways to Increase Your Influence
1.Maintain impeccable character - make your character one that others know and trust.
2.Develop your skills to excellence. In everything you do, make sure you are a person of excellence.
3.Help others in all that you do. Make sure that you are a win-win person who does things so that everybody can enjoy the fruits of the victory.
4.Be successful at what you do. Success is the ultimate influencer. If you are successful, others will want to learn how - and they'll listen to you!
5.Speak well. Speaking is a powerful tool of influence. Speak well and you will attract others to you - and to follow you.
6.Go the extra mile. Don't quit at average. Go further than anyone else. Make people know you will give them more than they asked for.
7.Be known as the "go to" guy. Let it be your name that people think of when they need something done. Develop the reputation that you can and will get the job done. This will attract people to you like flies to honey.
8.Be generous. Give to others. Help others. Let others succeed, make money, and gain recognition.
9.Know more than others but don't be a know-it-all. People will come to you if they know you will have the answer. They won't if you arrogantly remind them that you have all the answers!
10.Deliver the goods and get the job done. No excuses, get the job done. That's what counts. That's the language people speak. Period.

If one is trying to improve his/her influential skills, he must have HIGH PATIENCE and must be known for his PERSEVERANCE.
He/she must be practice POSITIVE THINKING and reflect POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.
He/she must define his/her vision & mission statement and try his/her best to achieve its over a period of time.
He/she must be a EGO-FREE PERSONALITY and never make others feel that he/she is proud of anything(may be his knowledge, down-to-earth attitude). This is what i define as DOWN-TO-EARTH ATTITUDE.
I might have missed few more points because we cant limit it to certain points.
