Project HEADWAY: Influence Without Authority

Featuring Mark Mullaly - June 20, 2024

Overview

Exercising influence on this scale without requisite authority is unquestionably a challenge. It requires confidence, competence, and political dexterity. It also involves a willingness to engage, negotiate with and advise executives that may be several rungs above you on the organizational ladder. While that might sound difficult and scary, it is the nature of the gig. The good news is that being able to influence without authority is an attainable outcome. There is process, there are strategies and there are approaches that you can employ to secure commitment, leverage support and get things done. If you have ever been challenged to create effective outcomes without formal organizational accountability and power, this is a webinar that you won’t want to miss.
