MEGA SESSION Things Would Be Different If I Were in Charge: Learning to Lead at Any Level
Leadership is about influence, not position. As leaders positioned in the middle of the organization, HR faces numerous challenges; this engaging session exposes those challenges and teaches how to overcome them. Learn practical ways to influence your leaders, peers, employees, and others in your organization, without being in charge or at the top. The people who have the most influence in an organization are those in the middle. The next time you feel helpless, remember this new perspective.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore tangible ways to influence those in the C-suite by adding value.
- Learn the importance of influencing peers and doing so effectively.
- Be a leader to those in lower positions by helping them reach their potential through development and encouragement.
- Realize that as leaders in the middle, HR brings incredible value to the organization.
