There's centuries/millenia of culture that serves as a guide for how to do it right. Nurturing humans to achieve their potential and live their life to the fullest it not a new problem. It's not like Victor Frankl invented this stuff sixty years ago.
And I don't think it requires absolute precision in action -- just a willingness to observe, think and iterate. After all, the influencer is as much of a human as the influenced. We're talking about influence over the scale of years, if not decades.
This is one of those domains where the "Lindy effect" might be a good rule of thumb -- the longer a guide has survived, the longer it is likely to survive, because the likelier it is to add value. Conversely, many "modern breakthroughs" are likely to be fads.
