Dr Suzanne de Janasz shares research-based insights into improving your influence at work.

Getting your ideas across in large complex institutions is hard. Alongside formal hierarchies there are informal webs of power, numerous stakeholders and difficult personalities. Advocating for yourself or your ideas is even harder when you lack formal authority.

Passivity however is not the answer. The ability to influence colleagues and get ideas heard benefits both individuals and organisations – providing you know how to put the puzzle together.

In this webinar, management professor Dr Suzanne de Janasz shows how you can get things done in complex organisations even when you lack power.
