In an interconnected, fast-changing workplace, leaders can no longer rely on position alone. Effective leadership communication depends on influence: the ability to shape the actions and opinions of direct reports, peers, bosses, executives and key decision makers.
This 60-minute leadership training looks at the dynamics of personal power, politics and persuasion during change. You'll learn why leading through influence matters, the six sources of leadership power, four influence skills and attitudes from the Center for Creative Leadership, how to check your personal credibility, and Marshall Goldsmith's five ways to influence decision makers.
The aim is stronger leaders who guide teams through uncertainty, raise engagement and accountability, and reduce conflict.
Perhaps your ideas lack support, your cross-functional team pulls in different directions, or you are new to leading. Even credible, competent managers fall short without influencing skills, whether they need buy-in, budget approval or a place on the agenda.
This session helps leaders influence without authority, communicate across generations and work styles, and strengthen executive presence. It suits executives, HR and talent leaders, directors, managers, supervisors, project managers and team leaders.
