I'm a story teller . However, I never thought to drill down the way Susan Luke does to help leaders connect at deeper levels with stakeholders. Her process is clear, doable and holds great benefit for anyone who wants to create a compelling vision. Easy to read too. ANYONE can benefit from this book because EVERYONE is a leader in some capacity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mission Critical for Leaders
Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
Susan Luke Evans elegantly lays out the 5 levels of influence and shows you how to find out where you are at, as a leader.
5 Levels of Influence:
Behavioral – COMPLIANCE
Emotional – Participation
Beliefs – Mindset change – more buy in; like their work/environment/team but not moving further for a number of reasons

Identity – Believe in themselves, deeper level of commitment and creativity, leadership
Legacy - They are inspired and become leaders in the organization.

Leaders need to recognize the Mission Critical Line between Beliefs and Identity:
Below is temporary, above is sustainable.

When you are working with your team above the “Mission Critical line”, then you have people who are fully engaged in creating success. But how can you get there?

When a leader shares WHO they are and WHY they are engaged, through sharing their story, it opens the space for everyone to participate. Susan decodes HOW to do this and demonstrates WHY it is ever more important.

After I read Susan’s book, I realized that I hadn’t told a long-time client the full story of why I continued to work with them all these years; why it mattered to me. When I told them the story, instead of letting me go because of COVID-19, they re-engaged with me and have kept me as consultant/trainer.
Imagine your impact when you can find the stories in you that truly convey who you are and why your mission and goals matter.
