Episode 5: Leverage – Turning Influence Into Legacy
If you’re still doing everything yourself, you’re not leading—you’re hoarding.
In this powerful episode, Masi and Shannon unpack the “L” in the M.I.L.E.™ leadership framework: Leverage. This is the stage where leaders step off center stage and begin building others up. It’s not about control—it’s about multiplication.
They reframe influence not as power or position, but as intentional investment. Real leadership isn’t about being the hero—it’s about building heroes. And that shift is where legacy begins.
Using two core GiANT tools—The Influence Model and the Developing Others framework—they give leaders a mirror and a map. You’ll learn how to assess where your influence really lands and how to tailor development to meet your team exactly where they are.
Key moments include:
Why doing it all yourself makes you the bottleneck, not the builder
The five levels of influence—and where most leaders stall out
Why developing others requires more than delegation
The difference between essential leadership and equipping leadership
The mindset shift from impact to multiplication
This episode will challenge you to stop assuming trust, start developing people, and make peace with letting go. Because leverage isn’t about less responsibility—it’s about greater reach.
Final Challenge:
What part of your leadership are you still clinging to—when you could be leveraging it to grow others?
