TAP YOUR POWER, GROW YOUR INFLUENCE: Navigating 'Accountability Without Authority'
The economy, the environment and the geopolitical climate aren't the only sources of the seismic shifts occurring in the world today. At work, we're dealing with a whole new paradigm for getting work done in the 21st century. Years ago, working people complained about being on the hook for their results without having the functional authority to match. Nowadays, accountability for enormous projects with zero management authority is the norm!
How do we manage through influence? What new skills will allow us to grow and deploy our influence on the job? National workplace expert and former Fortune 500 Human Resources exec Liz Ryan will teach participants how to achieve big results without a lofty title or a corner office. You'll learn how to 'spin the table' and sell your ideas and plans internally from the "buyer's" point of view, how to get people across functions and units to band together with you, and how to become an influential thought leader in your place of business. Join us for this lively session that will change your most strongly-held beliefs about your power (or lack of) at work!
