In this second part of the interview with Gary, we speak about the building blocks of leadership without authority from a statistician’s perspective. We cover questions like:

Is influence the same as power?
What is the role of trust, what are the different elements of trust and how can we improve trust being technical experts?
How can we build relationships at work, that help us to influence change?
Is influence through relationships only relevant “sideways” or also “upwards” and “downwards”?
How do we know with whom we need to invest in building relationships?
Is there a way of assessing how good our relationships are?
