This is part of the Institute for Management Studies (IMS) Leadership Conversations.
These 60-minute IMS live virtual programs provide a quick dive into key topics that are critical to organizations during a time of disruptive change. Packed with actionable learning strategies, participants will experience an interactive virtual program with an IMS thought leader and receive post-session support through micro-learning lessons and a discussion board.
Despite your good ideas and performance, you may feel unheard, or unable to make the impact you’re hired for. Other people’s actions might get under your skin or make you react defensively. Then you might rehash the situation all day, wasting your valuable time and energy.
How you show up in those moments determines the quality of your leadership, and your life. Learn to respond powerfully with intention instead of react personally with emotion. Enjoy being ‘in your power’ – the leader who sets the temperature in the room and moves interactions forward.
During this program learn how to do the following:
- Stay calm, confident, and concise instead of taking things personally
- Recover quickly from reactions so you stay connected to your purpose and the mission of the organization
- Neutralize the negative effects of others on you
- Be the positive leader who sets the tone for everyone on the team
- Engage difficult people to willingly resolve joint problems
Professionals have used these approaches to accelerate promotion, improve the culture on their teams, and be the steady presence who leads career-high wins. Because a leader in their power raises everyone around them!
