Discover the art of leadership without the official title in this insightful session, "How to Lead When You Are Not in Charge." Learn how to harness the power of informal authority to guide and inspire your team. You'll understand the crucial differences between formal authority, akin to a monarch's rule, and informal authority, similar to a shaman's influence, and learn how to leverage both to your advantage. Explore various sources of authority, including positional power, expertise and competency, personality, reputation, and moral standing, and understand how to draw from these sources to establish your leadership presence. Discover how asking the right questions can be a leader's superpower, using them to clarify team objectives and steer your team toward success. Delve into the importance of the "first follower" in leading teams and organizations, and learn how being an effective first follower can enhance your leadership capabilities. Develop the essential skills of giving and receiving feedback, recognizing that feedback is a gift, and learning how to use it to foster growth and success in yourself and your team.

Join us to gain practical strategies and insights that will empower you to lead effectively, regardless of your official position. This session is perfect for aspiring leaders, team members, and anyone looking to impact their organization significantly.
