Influencing Without Authority

Leveraging Trust, Credibility, and Relationships to Inspire Action

Through participation in this course, you will gain insight and a variety of tactics to become more influential in your organization (and in life) - someone that others see as contributing to the organization’s success.

While organizations are hierarchically structured to ensure clear lines of authority and accountability, today’s increasing complexity and speed of change means that every organization’s success now depends on its ability to tap into the right people at the right time - “contributors” who bring valuable energy, talent, resources, and judgment.

These contributors, while not officially in charge, exercise informal influence to get things done. Join this course to learn the power of positive influence and get better results working up, down and across your organization.

Description

  • Work on a real-world situation and potential opportunities to increase your influence on it,
