There come times, and they come more often than we’d like to think, when influencing without the authority to make the final call, is the only and the most powerful tool we have in our kit.
It is about
influencing the right stakeholders at the right time
for a fair reason with realistic expectations.
A great way to set stage for long-term relationships is to have the collaborative spirit built into the influence-without-authority grid. After all, no matter where we are on the corporate ladder, we hardly ever have enough authority, right?
Get a closer look at the six steps that enable us to have a high success rate in our outcomes for the Project “influence-without-authorityâ€.

LESSONS LEARNED:
Understand the criticality of uncertain resource availability on project outcomes.
