Summary:
Title: Influence for Engineers — What is influence, and why mastering it can drive success at any level
Description:
Engineers hate corporate politics--I know I did. Naturally, we're inclined to spend most of our time solving cool problems for interesting customers, and prefer not to dabble in what we perceive as "games" that are played at senior levels in the workplace.
What if there was another way of looking at this? What if small changes could drastically improve your ability to communicate with senior management, build coalitions, secure resources for your team & projects, push for raises and promotions, and overall lead to a more useful dialogue in the workplace?
Engineers and engineering leaders that master this skill can elevate their careers and their team's successes to a whole new level.
We'll explore tactics to identify areas in which influence plays a vital role in positive outcomes—even in a technical environment—and strategies to increase your sphere of influence in your professional/personal life.
