Leadership upskilling is essential as businesses and organizations continue to transform into a more interconnected, interdependent, global workplace that is also experiencing ongoing change. Because of these changes, leaders can no longer lead solely by the power of their authority or position. They need the personal power of influence - the ability to positively impact the actions, behaviors, opinions of, not just their direct reports, but also bosses, peers, executive management as well as key decision makers.
If your leaders and managers don’t have influence, they will have difficulty leading others to take action and implementing the goals and strategies of your organization.
Therefore, it is crucial that all your leaders - whatever their level - understand the range of influence techniques they can use, know when and how to use them, as well as build their personal power base so that they can play a greater role in impacting the organization’s success.
Influence Is the New Leadership Skill. Make Sure Your Leaders Have It!
“Leadership Upskilling” is a practical, hands-on webinar that will give participants new ways of looking at the dynamics of personal power, politics, persuasion, and influence during times of change. You will see these benefits:
- Stronger leadership: Builds managers skilled at influencing, motivating, and driving results.
- Better change adoption: Equips managers to guide their teams through uncertainty.
- Higher performance: Powers people’s engagement, alignment, accountability
- Healthier team dynamics: Reduces stress, conflict, enhances collaboration.
Register your managers and emerging leaders today to strengthen their leadership influence and impact. You’ll be developing leaders who can influence change—not react to it!
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
When was the last time you thought about how you influence others — how you change minds, shape opinions, move others to act? Perhaps you are a line manager or supervisor feeling frustrated because others are not supporting your ideas? Or a project manager trying to lead a cross-functional team that is going in different directions? Or new in your job wanting to learn how to become a better leader? Or realizing you must improve your influencing skills to advance your career?
Even with a solid foundation of personal credibility and competence, you as leaders and managers may fall short if you don’t understand the influence dynamics of power, politics, and persuasion. Whether you’re getting support for your recommendations or getting approval for expenditures beyond your budget or getting items onto the agenda for the next meeting, your ability to influence matters.
That’s why it is so vitally important to have influencing skills as part of your professional portfolio. The ability to influence your boss, your peers, your staff, as well as key decision makers is an essential skill for leaders, managers and supervisors, whatever their level or position.
