Learning to Influence Your BossThe relationship you have with your boss will hugely impact your professional success and career. (Research from Leadership IQ finds that people with strong boss relationships are 220% more likely to be promoted.)

But too many professionals leave that critical relationship to chance. Instead we need to influence and nurture that relationship to move beyond a reactive/passive dynamic to a proactive partnership with our boss.

Do you understand your boss’ unique communication style? Do you know how to keep them in the loop so they don’t need to micromanage? Do you know why they reject proposals and how to anticipate their objections? Do you know how to bring them exactly the information they need?

Influencing your boss is about understanding their unique strengths, weaknesses, goals, styles, and needs so that we can partner with them to help us both (and the organization) achieve great success.

And if you’re a leader with employees, you should have all your direct reports watch this important program. (It will make your job as leader significantly easier.)

In this webinar called “Learning to Influence Your Boss,” you’ll discover …

  • 5 questions to ask your boss that eliminate conflicting priorities, miscommunications and unrealistic expectations
  • Discover the communication style your boss uses and how to speak it so they listen to your every word
  • 3-part script for giving your boss constructive feedback
  • How to start “networking” (and stop “needworking”) your boss to become their trusted confidant and partner
  • 2 scripts to get career coaching from your boss (and open up new career and development opportunities)
  • How to use positive reinforcement “upwards” to build rapport with your boss
  • 3 steps to deliver bad news to your boss
  • Why you should never bring your boss only 1 solution to a problem
  • 4 top reasons why bosses reject employees’ proposals, and how to anticipate and overcome their objections
