The Influential Manager: Messages That Get Buy-In (302963)

*Bill Williams, Organizational Learning Consultant 

Keywords: influence, strategic communication

Contemporary managers are often called upon to spot and raise issues and concerns that may be of strategic importance to their organizations; introduce ideas to improve or create new products, services, or efficiencies; and play a key role in cross-functional initiatives working with others over whom they have no authority. These circumstances require the ability for managers to deliver tight, effective ideas and messages. In this session, you will learn influencing strategies for pitching ideas and moving people toward decision and action. During the concurrent session, you will have an opportunity to apply what you are learning.
