Influencing without authority
The ability to influence without formal authority is an essential skill that can enhance your impact and results. Influencing skills enable you to build meaningful relationships, convince others with opposing ideas and communicate effectively.
In this toolkit you will learn to:
- Develop political astuteness and organisational intelligence to understand power dynamics.
- Leverage your network and increase visibility as a leader.
- Influence others with opposing ideas by building trust and finding common ground.
- Build trusted relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.
- Enhance your persuasion and influencing skills through effective communication.
This toolkit is for people and thought leaders working in environments where influence is key. It helps you consider concepts, approaches and tools to increase your influence, build strong relationships and work through conflicting viewpoints.
