- Why is the ability to influence more important today than ever before?
- Why are we able to have a positive impact on one person's attitudes and actions while failing to impact another?
- Why do we find it easy to accommodate one person while resisting another?
- Why is our capacity for influencing such a significant leadership skill in today's workplace?
Regardless of position or industry, influence is emerging as a critical competency for job success. In this session we will concentrate on preferred influence styles and their situational appropriateness and effectiveness. We will explore:
- The changing face of influence
- Generational and gender differences
- The impact of decentralized organizational structures
This session will examine five influence styles: Rationalizing, Asserting, Negotiating, Inspiring, and Bridging along with two influence orientations, Advocating and Uniting. It will help you understand the role of personality and personal preferences both in how we influence others as well as how we are best influenced.
Target Audience: Coaches, Trainers, T&D Managers, OD Managers, Team Developers
