Leadership Espresso – Influencing without Formal Authority

About the session

This virtual workshop provides some protected ‘headspace’ and ‘thinking time’ to consider:

• How can I grow my confidence to use my power and influence, even if I don’t have formal authority?
• What are the differences between leading in a hierarchical context and influencing across teams and wider networks?
• Which aspects of my work are best achieved through a conventional management approach and which aspects require a more networked approach to leadership?
• How do I decide when a formal or more informal approach to influencing might work best?
• What are my key challenges in influencing beyond my sphere of authority?
• How do I apply this learning to my everyday work?
