Season 5 - Episode 31 - The art of influence without authority in change
Influencing change isn't about having the biggest job title or 'telling' people about the change and trying to tell them to change, it's about creating the right conditions for people to take ownership, and lead the change formally and informally in their own areas.
In this episode of Next Level Change Success, Therese explores the four powerful sources of influence that determine whether your change initiative gains momentum or stalls. From engaging leaders and leveraging informal social networks to building trust through consistent experiences and creating positive interactions. You'll discover practical techniques that every change practitioner, project professional and leader can apply immediately.
If you've ever struggled to gain buy-in, increase stakeholder engagement or influence people outside your reporting line, this episode will change the way you think about leadership forever.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why influence is more powerful than authority
- The four levels of organisational influence
- How trust accelerates change adoption
- Why ownership beats compliance every time
- Practical ways to create lasting behavioural change
Because successful change isn't something you do to people, it's something you create with them. Want to learn how to introduce sustainable change in your organisation, without authority? Come to www.myvirtualchangemanager.com and learn how.
