with Host Bob Beaulaurier | Beau Leadership Group

In a world still reeling from the shock of the Charlie Kirk murder, this episode of Leadership Word Power, recorded just two weeks prior, feels like a timely antidote to the bitterness and division that tragedy has stirred. Host Bob Beaulaurier delivers a compelling case for why the word “hate” is a leadership poison—and why love is the only true currency of influence.

Words are a leader’s most powerful tool, shaping trust, culture, and impact. Drawing on sources as diverse as his father’s kitchen-table wisdom, John Maxwell’s leadership principles, Harvard’s Dangerous Speech Project, and the branding genius of Nike, Bob unpacks the profound consequences of “hate talk” in families, churches, and workplaces. Rooted in Proverbs 18:21—“The tongue has the power of life and death”—this episode weaves together biblical insight, sociological research, and practical storytelling to show how love multiplies value while hate erodes it.

Listeners will walk away with:

• The “nail in the fence” lesson, a vivid reminder of the lasting scars words can leave.
• Insights from The Four Agreements on being impeccable with your word to transform leadership.
• A challenge to ban “hate” for seven days and witness its impact on your relationships and influence.
• Proof that love, not hate, is the foundation of enduring leadership, from scripture to corporate success.

For anyone leading a family, church, team, or organization—and seeking to inspire rather than alienate—this episode is essential listening. Take Bob’s 7-day “No Hate” challenge and discover how one small shift in language can reshape your leadership and lift those around you.

“Empower your leadership. Elevate your influence with God in mind.”

Beau Leadership Group Podcast – Episode 20: “Power, Influence, and Lasting Leadership”

📍 Welcome, leaders. Today we’re diving deep into power and influence, what separates them, how to wield both wisely, and why the ultimate measure of leadership is impact—and yes, even happiness.

Stanford’s Jeffrey Pfeffer reminds us: power is fundamental to life. John Maxwell says leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. Jim Rowan adds that success is attracted by the person you become. Joseph Nye of Harvard defines power as the ability to affect others, through force, persuasion, or attraction.

Let’s make it tangible. Few leaders embody this better than Henry Ford. He turned industrial and financial power into influence that reshaped society. Unlike competitors who relied on bailouts, Ford survived and thrived because he built on value, innovation, and influence—not just raw power.

At the Hood River Aviation Museum, a plane is powered by a Ford Flathead V8 which reminds us: Ford didn’t just build cars; he built trust, freedom, and opportunity.

Part 1: Power vs. Influence

• Power: Compel. “Do it because I said so.”
• Influence: Inspire. “Do it because you believe in it.”

Ford had both. His power as an industrial titan was clear. His influence came from giving the average person freedom—the freedom to travel, to dream bigger, to live life on their terms.

Zechariah 4:6: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit.” True leadership is spirit-led influence, not just authority.

Part 2: The 14 Rules of Power and Influence

Here’s how Ford applied timeless principles you can use today:

1. Get out of your own way. Ford failed multiple times before the Model T. Don’t let failure define you. (Proverbs 23:7)
2. Define your identity. Ford branded himself as the man who would put America on wheels. (Matthew 5:14-16)
3. Break rules wisely. Focus on what creates value for the masses. Ford ignored luxury trends and built one car for everyone.
4. Obey God, not humans. (Acts 5:29) Avoid the dark side of power. Focus on building, not destroying.
5. Protect the vulnerable. Don’t exploit the poor; create opportunity. (Proverbs 22:22-23)
6. Carry presence. Be confident, decisive, results-focused. (Proverbs 28:1)
7. Build a reputation. Ford became synonymous with quality, affordability, and reliability. (Proverbs 22:1)
8. Network relentlessly. Collaborate with peers and investors who sharpen you. (Proverbs 27:17)
9. Control the narrative. Ford’s message: cars for you, not just the wealthy. (Proverbs 18:21)
10. Give credit, take responsibility. Ford paid well, credited workers, invested in their growth.
11. Use power; don’t hoard it. Constantly improve processes, invest in production. (James 2:17)
12. Model behavior. Lead by example in conduct, work ethic, and values. (1 Timothy 4:12)
13. Serve firs
