Personal power determines whether people follow you or forget you, and it has nothing to do with title but everything to do with knowing who you are and where you're headed. Clarity in vision and values allows leaders to inspire commitment rather than simply demanding compliance.

• Personal power is exemplified by Mother Teresa who, despite her small stature and lack of resources, got the world to listen because of her clear vision
• Many leaders struggle with being clear and communicating with clarity, even at the highest levels
• Signs you need to build personal power: chronic indecisiveness, avoiding confrontation, difficulty defending ideas
• Case study of CEO "Adam" who transformed an architectural firm by developing his leadership philosophy rather than bulldozing through resistance
• Creating a personal leadership philosophy includes defining your values, vision, and what you want to be known for
• Five questions to develop your philosophy: qualities you admire in leaders, your values, how you want to be described, your personal cause, and what you want to influence
