Influencing Without Authority Workshop
OVERVIEW
Influencing Without Authority Workshop equips participants with the skills needed to build credibility and effectively influence stakeholders, even if they lack the formal authority to make demands on resources. This workshop helps attendees understand the attitudes and behaviours of leaders who know how to get work done through influence and persuasion whether managing up, down, across, or diagonally within organizations.
Influencing Without Authority begins by placing the concept of influence within the larger context of environmental, organizational, network, relational, and interpersonal factors. It breaks influence down into a series of learnable skills, moving beyond the notion that influence is simply the product of personal charisma or charm, and instead, gives participants tools needed to negotiate the political landscape of organizations.
Participants also learn how to build the personal credibility that serves as the foundation of effective influence and how to apply a powerful methodology for resolving performance challenges in an environment where power cannot be exerted by one individual over another. They also learn how to build networks by overcoming internal barriers to creating new contacts. Finally, Influencing Without Authority provides the tools necessary to be more influential on both a personal and more strategic level.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify what it means to influence without authority and what you can do to be successful
- Learn to read the larger context in which you wish to influence without authority
- Employ principles and tools to build your influence within your organization
- Apply what you’ve learned to a series of specific situations where leading without authority is most required
