Are you a coordinator, specialist, project manager, consultant or similar? Without the formal leadership of the resources you use to create progress and successes, your work will be more challenging. How do you ensure the right skills for a task when it is another person’s responsibility to prioritize the resource’s time and tasks? How do you motivate and commit a resource when you do not have formal leadership? How do you ensure that you get the right resources for a task?
These are some of the challenges you encounter when working as a leader without the formal authority. In this situation, you should not only guide different types of employees by, for example, being present and acknowledging - you should also lead their formal leader and by this create the right framework for completing your task - this is perhaps the most important and difficult challenge.
During the course, you will gain in-depth knowledge of the role of an informal leader. You will learn how to get better at leading horizontally as well as vertically and exercise influence.
Your own challenges as an informal leader, i.e. the challenges you face in your professional life, are incorporated into the topics and group discussions. Your role as an informal leader, including your way of communicating, is our starting point.
When you know your own preferences and can adapt your behaviour and similarly understand the people you work with and depend on, it will improve your ability to exercise influence.
You will fill in a Jungian type profile questionnaire before the course. This will give you a better understanding of your own preferences as well as guide you when you cooperate and communicate with other types.
