Influencing Skills
|
Learn how to influence others, while taking their working styles and constraints into account |
The acid test of a good plan is the willingness of others to implement it. A key skill relevant to leaders at all levels is the ability to positively influence people in such a way that others willingly alter their thoughts and plans. By carefully adjusting ideas to the concerns and communication styles of others, and by formulating ideas in a compelling way, your level of influence can be dramatically improved. As influencing skills are used more often, resistance to change decreases along with the need to use positional power, which then often leads to stronger relationships.
In this workshop participants bring their own case studies and use the theory presented to hone their idea so as to maximize acceptance by their stakeholder group.
