Managing Power & Influence in Organizations

Exercising leadership requires more than just a worthy goal or a good idea. It also requires an understanding of how things really get done in organizations and how you can influence people both within and outside your chain of command in order to gain support and overcome resistance.

This seminar will help you develop the three key skills of leading through influence: a) navigating politics, b) understanding power, and c) exercising influence.
