Leading Through Influence

Master the skills to lead and influence without formal authority

The Influential Product Manager

What if you could lead, persuade, and inspire action - without relying on a formal title?
Imagine you’re overseeing a critical product launch, but you don’t have formal authority over the R&D and sales teams involved. Or perhaps you’re working with stakeholders from multiple departments, each with their own priorities, and you need to align them on a shared vision for the product’s success. Maybe you’re tasked with driving innovation in a highly technical team that is resistant to change, yet your role doesn’t grant you the power to enforce decisions.
These are just a few of the challenges industrial product managers often face when leading without formal authority.
Leading Through Influence is a training designed to equip you with the skills to navigate these complex situations, offering practical strategies for building trust, communicating effectively and motivating cross-functional teams to achieve results, even without direct control.

The training combines key concepts, real-world examples, and interactive exercises to ensure participants not only understand influencing but also practice applying it in realistic work situations. Hands-on activities help participants test techniques, gain confidence, and see how to influence effectively in their daily roles.
