AMS Course Code: 288

Course Description

In highly matrixed organization, leading without authority can mean you are a force of “one” at times, and an individual’s ability to influence, guide, and innovate is critical to accomplish objectives. Within the “we are all leaders” culture there must be a high degree of situational awareness to ensure the journey is productive. This course will provide a roadmap and skills to enhance participant's ability to manage and lead in this environment. By focusing on collaboration as an underpinning norm, we can delegate, influence, and guide our teams with more authenticity.
