Influencing in a Cross-Functional Organization

May 10, 8:30 am-4:00 pm

$650

A cross-functional organization is one where multiple reporting lines exist. This may involve direct line or indirect reporting to one or more individuals.

At their best, cross-functional structures can be creative and high-performing. At their worst, they can be a confusing labyrinth of changing players who lack accountability. The skills and behaviors needed to make management a success require a new emphasis on exceptional people skills and methods for influence.

  • Self-awareness and preparation
  • Establishing clear goals upfront
