Course description
Leading From the Middle
Jack Welch described the effectiveness of our ideas and solutions with a now famous formula: Q x A = E, where Q = the quality of our solutions, A = acceptance, and E = effectiveness. Since we all know the quality of our solutions is a 10, the key question becomes: how effective are we at leading others into acceptance and buy-in of our solutions? None of us want to discover that 10 x 0 = 0. This training is all about how supervisors can use their leadership skills to influence buy-in, increase acceptance, gain cooperation, and also become more effective at managing up on the teams they serve.
Supervisors will learn the true lessons of leadership and explore best practices and effective communication skills that will enable them to influence collaboration and negotiate outcomes that serve the needs of all stakeholders. They will learn how to influence and negotiate agreements without depending on the right to tell people what to do.
