Description
More and more in life, whether in your office or in your neighborhood, success
comes when groups or networks, work together to get things done. What they decide
to do is often the result of a process which explores where they can see commonality
in goals and interests with their fellow members which are their shared values.
Leadership, whether it is personal or institutional requires the ability to
persuade or influence others when searching for the common ground. To be an
influential networker, you must understand your networks, maintain and grow
them. You must also understand the type of decision-making process in play and
know how to influence it.
This seminar will discuss how to do a network assessment. It will provide advice
on how to grow and maintain your networks. The course will also address cross-network
networking. It will help the participant identify the type of decision-making
process that will be used in order to build the strategy to influence it. You
will learn how to build a power map of an organization, discuss how to build
alliances and also how to avoid behavior that undermines the trust you have
built and weakens your ability to influence others.
Targeted Learners
This presentation is targeted towards those who are seeking to develop their
personal and professional leadership skills. It is for those who already are
aware that networking is valuable and are ready to move on to how to influence
a network and how to maximize the use of the variety of networks one belongs
to. The course materials are at the intermediate level.
