Lithium Lithium Lithium (from ) is a chemical element with symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and is stored in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in (usually ionic) compounds, such as pegmatitic minerals which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility
The Elements of Influence of Influence, a classification of the units of influence into an ontology. The Standard Table of Influence consists of 25 irreducibly unique influence stratagems (since revised down to 24, see below), organized by a three-class and eight-subclass superstructure. The table’s concise organization into a stable decision-support system for influence has led some practitioners to refer to it as “the Rosetta Stone of influence.” In addition to the Standard Table of Influence, "The Elements of Influence" details various other supporting tools and resources for the understanding and application of influence, including the Standard Cycle of Influence, Standard Factors of Influence, the
