Event Details

Your job requires you to influence people just about all of the time. It may take the form of gaining support, inspiring others, persuading other people to become your champions, engaging someone's imagination, and creating relationships. Whatever form it takes, being an excellent influencer makes your job easier.


Successfully lead your colleagues. Lateral leadership means leading "from the side" and therefore not - as in classic management situations - from the top down. This leadership concept is especially valuable when you work in flat hierarchies, particularly in project teams, and have responsibility for outcomes but no supervisory authority.


But as a lateral leader, how can you get people excited about the goals you have set, actively engage them and create a productive and appreciative working environment? The secret lies in your own role and attitude. Understanding how this can proactively shape your role and keeping the mechanisms of lateral leadership in mind, are the first steps to successfully leading your colleagues.
