Leadership, Teams, Objectives & Influence

Leaders face unique challenges to keeping their team members motivated and aligned to the organisational or project’s strategy. This difficulty is often due to the difference between Leadership and Authority, Power and Influence. Also, as Leaders, we are confronted to a cruel dilemma: we can't always force people to drive their actions in a certain way, we don't necessarily hold the appropriate authority. Yet, we still need them to deliver, follow a certain path and some rules, and report on their progress.
We have then to find smoother ways to convince, lead and influence in order to move forward and make things happen.
If a direct authoritarian approach doesn't work, a Leader has to use specific techniques to communicate, convince and lead her/his team members.
Leadership starts of course by one-self. Defining a strategy for yourself, with clear objectives and verify if your aims, resources and environment contribute effectively to your strategic personal objectives. Being clear about your own objectives and strategy will foster your Leadership position and give you the means to give sense and inspiration for others to follow you.
We'll explore how to define individual and group objectives beyond the classical and outdated SMART model.
We'll see how to identify individual drivers for action and use them to move a project forward,
We’ll explore how to conduct effective and influential meetings to put your teams in an action and performance mindset.
And we'll see how to use Influence techniques to overcome resistance in its different forms.
The Seminar is divided between lectures, interactive discussions and practical exercises.
