Episode description

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like you just can’t get through to your boss?

One of the key challenges facing many leaders today — at all levels — is how to influence people more senior than themselves, including their bosses and boards! Being able to get your point across and communicate persuasively with people in more senior positions is a critical workplace skill that you have to develop.

Apart from making your job easier, Influencing Upwards has many benefits such as better understanding, co-operation and team work, more productivity, problems better addressed, less frustration and stress, and of course, recognition, and potentially promotion.

The ability to influence colleagues effectively is key to your professional and personal success.

In this Great Managers® Masterclass Extract Sandra will share with you some of the skills and mindsets required!
