Details
In this session Associate Professor Jennifer Overbeck will address the challenges inherent in having and using power, particularly for those rising (or aspiring) to very senior positions. Familiar influence strategies may become less effective when you have higher rank, and new strategies may be needed. We will discuss how to rely on new sources of power and influence tactics and how to manage interactions effectively by standing your ground without alienating others.
Following the session there will be ample time to enjoy refreshments and networking.
