This course unveils the potential within every employee to engage, lead, and influence. Discover the intricacies of power dynamics, interpersonal communication, and strategic partnerships and map your path to successful day-to-day leadership challenges. With a practical and case-specific approach, participants will be able to better understand how to lead from the middle based on their abilities and interests.
About the Course
Overview
Leadership and responsibility aren’t exclusive to those with a corner office. Employees of all levels can be empowered to engage with projects and teams in a capacity that reflects their capabilities and aspirations if not their formal titles. These scenarios can represent short- or-long term opportunities, but in all cases, these “situational” leaders must learn to understand leadership, influence and communication skills.
This course covers power dynamics, interpersonal communication, influence, building strategic partnerships and conflict resolution. Topics include, but are not limited to, types of power, concepts of power, sources of power, currencies of power, and using power effectively. Participants will engage in a variety of instructor-led discussions, small group exercises, self-evaluations, reflections, action planning, and more.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to
- Recognize one’s part in the system (position, pressures, influences, etc.)
- Explore opportunities for exercising influence in “leading from the middle”
- Mapping the organization for leadership and followership
- Describe specific actions for leading on day-to-day leadership challenges
- Identify key communication strategies for success
Who should take this course
The workshop is excellent for all employees seeking to enhance leadership and influence, especially those who are not currently in a permanent management position (acting team leaders, project coordinators, team members, and more). Whether you’re looking to understand your potential for influence, intricate power dynamics, or interpersonal communication for effective leadership, this course equips you with valuable skills and strategies to excel in day-to-day leadership challenges and contribute more effectively to your organization.
