In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, effective leadership goes beyond traditional authority. To be truly effective, both in good times and during times of great challenge, leaders must master the ability to influence others. Without the expertise and ability to influence others, the truly important things in work and life can't be achieved. But effective leaders don't just command; they also inspire, persuade, and encourage. They tap the knowledge and skills of a group, point individuals toward a common goal and consensus, and draw out a commitment to achieve results. They understand that greater good can be achieved through inspiration and positive influence, not by manipulation or coercion. In this course, you will learn about how leaders can use influence as a tool to enhance collaboration and consensus while advancing organizational aims and objectives. You will gain an understanding of the different influential styles and situations in which you can use a particular style to motivate individuals toward success.
