Approach to the Course

Influencing without authority requires you to exercise leadership. Your course will therefore begin with getting you to examine your view of leadership and offer an alternate lens of leadership for your review.


You will be effective in the exercise of leadership based the leadership resources you possess and your ability to apply those resources to suit the situation. We refer to these leadership resources as Leadership Orientations. Orientations are characteristics or traits. In this course you will learn the leadership orientations that you need to have or develop that will have an impact on your influencing other people.


The course will help you be self-aware and gain insights on your leadership orientations. You will learn the leadership abilities that will leave you empowered and enabled to effectively influence without having authority. Leadership abilities require the combined applying of the leadership orientations learnt.


This course will take you through the human thinking process, learning to manage perspectives and build a shared perspective, read and engage with managing power dynamics and become interpersonally effective. Bringing these together you learn to resolve differences between people and move their people’s thoughts, emotions and actions towards the desired objectives.
