Take your influencing skills to the next level at work

In today's increasingly complex environment it's hard to make progress. People are asked to do more with less, while expectations are increasing from all quarters – the boss, community, stakeholders and colleagues. When you can't influence, it's even harder to get traction. You become excised from the decision making in the organisation – and ultimately, find yourself out of the loop and uninvolved. This isn't a good outcome for your career. The solution is to master the skills and techniques needed to step up and build your influence at work.
