Influencing Without Authority
Friday, May 20th 8:30 to 12:30, Laurel Heights Regents Room S-1
Effectively exercising influence even when you may not have the formal authority to mandate action is a challenge we all face. This workshop explores the primary strategies of influence – and provides frameworks and tools to select the most appropriate strategy for the circumstances. The course will be presented by Raj Kapur of the Center for Project Management. The cost is $150.00.
