Programme Overview
Influencing your Stakeholders for Collective Growth – This executive education programme offers an interactive insightful learning experience designed to empower leaders with the mindset, attitude, knowledge and skills needed to effectively influence stakeholders when making key decisions. This helps leaders to seamlessly drive collective growth and create lasting impact in their organizations and communities.
In today’s dynamic business landscape, effective leadership entails navigating complex networks of stakeholders. It requires leaders to develop the capacity to align organizational, personal, and team member interests toward a common purpose to achieve success. However, this task is easier said than done.
Research conducted by Robert Anderson and William Adams for their book, Scaling Leadership, identified that the number one differentiator of effective leaders is strong people skills. Six out of ten of their biggest strengths relate to people skills, such as listening, meaningful connection, and empowering team members through influence rather than authority.
Through this program, participants will gain awareness, practice skills, and learn strategies needed to inspire, engage, and influence diverse stakeholders, even when faced with contradicting motivations. They will learn how to pursue shared objectives as they lead their organizations toward overarching goals.
