Influence is an essential component of leadership. Your position in an organization and the power it gives you aren't always enough to motivate people to do what you ask. How do you influence others without organizational authority? Developing your influence skills can help you gain commitment from people at all levels: direct reports, peers and bosses.
This session includes an assessment tool to help you determine the influence tactics you currently use. Some tactics depend on logic, others appeal to emotions, and others are cooperative appeals. You may discover tactics you rarely use, and you can develop those tactics to become more effective as a leader.
In this session you will:
- Learn what to do before, during and after an influence session.
- Learn how to channel every influence attempt into a learning experience.
- Learn to enhance your influence leadership capability.
Come with your questions and curiosity as we explore how you can influence others more effectively by applying research-proven influence tactics to your stakeholders.
