Influence without authority – How you can have big impact before you earn the big title
This session solves one of the biggest challenges facing today’s middle managers: how to make a real impact before you have a senior title.
All leaders want to have more impact, more easily—and it’s expected of them as soon as they step beyond frontline leadership.
The problem? We often assume influence comes with seniority. But most middle managers can’t wait for a promotion—they need to influence more effectively right now.
The secret? influence isn’t about seniority—it’s about maturity. And here’s the best part: maturity can be learned in months, while seniority can take years. Rebecca Houghton shows your leaders how to have “big boss” strategic impact—without waiting to be the big boss.
