Leadership

Understanding The 360-Degree Leader

A Comprehensive Approach to Ensuring Support from Others in Your Management Hierarchy and Beyond

Overview

This seminar is about gaining power and using influence. Although people have different forms of power, some executives are more effective in applying that power—hey can influence those around them to do what they want them to do. How are these 360-degree leaders different from traditional managers and executives?

Managerial leadership influence is bound by organizational roles. It influences down the hierarchy, and is based on “being in charge” and “being the boss.” It can’t be used to manage up or manage across. Only those below you in the hierarchy must comply. In contrast, 360-degree leaders can use their influence in all directions—and anyone, in any position, can gain and apply 360-degree leader influence. This seminar focuses on working with those around you, enabling you to:

Lead Up—Influence the boss and others above you in the agency hierarchy

Lead Across—Influence co-workers in your organization and associates in others

Lead Down—Influence subordinates and those below you in the agency hierarchy

Lead Out—Influence those who do not work for your agency
