Developing Leadership Skills
20 Minutes Short course General
Influencing People (Higher Education)
Online Training 30 Minutes Full course Education
This course looks at different influencing behaviours and strategies and how we can improve our own ability to influence those around us.
Description
We spend a lot more time trying to influence other people than we might realise. From our earliest years at home and at school, we grow up learning how to influence our friends and family and we learn - often the hard way - what works and what doesn't. Being able to persuade and influence people is a key skill for everyone, but it's particularly important for leaders who need to communicate a particular vision and get people behind that vision to make it a reality. This course looks at why we might need to influence others in the workplace, sets out a range of different influencing behaviours and strategies and shows how we can improve our own ability to influence those around us.
Course Objectives
- Why we may be unproductive at work
- How to manage our time and deal with distractions
- How to plan our work and prioritise tasks using the urgent/important (Eisenhower) matrix
