Overview
This one-day course will provide a set of contemporary, research-informed tools for leaders who want to create more influence with their manager, stakeholders, customers, colleagues, and team members.
Evolve with QUTeX
This is a new program that introduces you to the concept and application of influencing, thinking systemically about influence and negotiation, and the surprising psychology of negotiation—when to push and when to roll with resistance. The most difficult negotiations involve conflict, so we will help you to not only identify your preferred conflict resolution style, but also become more strategic about when and where to use it. How to know which approach to conflict resolution to use when, and why people often get it wrong. The program also explores how to respond skillfully to different approaches to conflict taken by others.
Who should participate?
This course is targeted at team leaders and middle managers with an interest in developing their ability to negotiate and influence a successful outcome. The program provides practical tools for application, based on sound research and contemporary thinking. Two diagnostics are covered in the registration fee.
