In this second part of the interview with Gary (check here for part 1), 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?
