AMA2532 Getting Results Without Authority
Learn to influence people who don't work for you to get the results you need.
Whether you're dealing with bosses, colleagues, staff members, or senior management, the ability to win respect, influence people, and cultivate cooperation is absolutely essential to career success. What's more, in challenging economic times, the people with whom you interact in business can change on a moment's notice. The ability to adapt quickly and work with anyone to achieve desired results is crucial - especially when you don't have immediate authority to command their cooperation. At this seminar, you'll focus on the key elements of influencing others when there is lack of authority - personal power, persuasion, and negotiation.
Learn how to influence people by building your power base using the Personal Power Model. Gain an understanding of exchange and reciprocity (the first steps in the influence process), and adapt behavior patterns that build credibility. Learn to persuade with a framework of discovery, preparation, and dialogue, and master the key components of negotiation.
You'll practice influencing techniques in this information-packed program, and you'll enhance your learning with videos, exercises, assessment tools, and group discussions.
