Organizations rely on leaders to effectively direct action and inspire collaborative work even when they don’t have direct authority over everyone they need to influence. Often, these are leaders a few rungs below senior leadership that are responsible for driving strategic priorities forward, influencing across a matrix, and doing so without relying on title or reporting structure.

There are effective strategies for inspiring authentic commitment and engagement even when you can’t demand compliance, and it’s worthwhile for any leader to learn how to leverage this skillset.

In this episode, Robin and Emma Rose are joined by Conversant consultant Roger Henderson to offer practical areas of focus to become an effective and purposeful leader, with or without authority.
