Leading People, Managing Influence

This program is designed for:

• managers and team leaders who want to lead teams more effectively through change and development
• project managers who need to balance team dynamics with stakeholder expectations
• professionals in leadership roles who want stronger communication and influence across the business
• anyone who wants to improve both team leadership and stakeholder management in a practical way

• how to lead a team through different stages of development
• how to recognize and manage stakeholder influence, expectations, and priorities
• how to adapt communication and leadership style to different people using the SCARF model
• how to connect theory and practice through Action Learning and apply the learning directly to real work situations

This is a highly practical, one-day training that combines useful frameworks, real examples, simulation, and applied learning.

Participants work with:

• Tuckman’s model of team development – understanding how teams move through Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing, and how leadership needs to shift in each phase
• Stakeholder Mapping – identifying key stakeholders, assessing their level of influence and interest, and preparing a more effective communication strategy
• SCARF model – adapting leadership and communication by understanding how people respond to Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness
• Action Learning – working with real challenges and cases from participants’ own context, so learning becomes immediately relevant and usable
