From technical expert to effective leader - improving outcomes through effective communication and influence
Abstract
As a technical expert, success is measured against the application of individual knowledge and skills. As a leader, success depends on the ability to work effectively through others, to grow the capabilities of individuals and teams, to build and utilise a knowledge of the discipline to drive results. The leadership strategies used to achieve these goals will have a direct impact on outcomes.
One of their key characteristics of an effective leader is their ability to communicate persuasively. They communicate in ways that people will not forget; not simply inform their people of the change process. An effective leader will achieve buy-in from all key stakeholders.
This session will explore the topic of effective communication and influencing others to achieve positive outcomes.
