Thanks for the feedback. Influence is like the tide – it ebbs & flows and constantly changes based on both perspective and context (and it interpreted differently by each individual). I’m glad you enjoyed the post! – Fred

You are right – all to many think that by quantifying influence they can understand the nature of influence, yet that simply isn’t the case. Your example of Situational Influence is very similar to what I would phrase Contextual Influence – both vary by time & situation, and there is no single “influential” entity in any situation, rather, there is typically a mixture of influential factors that shape our world. Understanding the underlying concepts of influence is just the beginning in being able to determine the “who, what, when, where & why” of events in our world today.

Thanks for your feedback – I think it is about time we sat across a table and tried to sort this mix out!

Great post and good to see you delving deep into the unknown for answers, or at least, damn good theories. As you know, the Nature of Influence holds a tremendous fascination for me and i believe is largely misunderstood, even by some of today’s leading minds. My current exploration is on Situational Influence; a difficult but wondrously complex layer of influence that seems to be the gravitational pull for the ebb and flow you describe.

Good to have another adventurer on the journey.

To the journey!

Jeff – Sensei
