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.
Using vivid, real-life examples, Sally helps participants recognize the common triggers that can undermine efforts to build strong relationships in a volatile and at times reactive workplace. These triggers include:
- How we position ourselves to be visible
- How we communicate across boundaries
- How our beliefs about fairness shape our expectations
- How we engage with and develop networks
- How we use humor to bond or provoke
Sally’s emphasis is not on eliminating triggers- which are environmental and lie beyond our control- but on managing our responses in a way that serves our interests and enables us to engage allies broadly. She offers proven ways to do so, with an emphasis on avoiding stock responses and writing scripts that give others the benefit of our generosity- even if we aren’t sure they’ve earned it.
Participants will come away with:
- An enhanced understanding of how they can build stronger and more harmonious relationships
- Tools for diffusing common triggers
- Practice in crafting effective and generous narratives that serve them
