LEAD.6090 - Leadership Academy Webinar: Navigating Workplace Power & Conflict

Program Overview

Leveraging Power, Politics and Negotiations to Accelerate Performance

Evolving societal norms and values ultimately make their way into workplace behaviors and norms.  For example, the “shock” of the pandemic and “shift” of relocating workers from the office building to a home office is having a potentially disruptive effect on traditional political and power models in the workplace.

Given this reality, the session will provide participants with insights into:

• Sources of power and strategies to build it when you need a boost to achieve your goals;
• Recognizing and responding to organizational politics;
• Negotiating your way to more productive and collaborative outcomes in times of conflict.

This webinar will prepare attendees to participate in the longer workshop, Leveraging Power, Politics and Negotiations to Accelerate Performance, part of UML’s Professional Certificate in Managerial Leadership.
