Overview

Often without formal authority, L&D and HR leaders struggle to get other departments and executive leaders to move initiatives forward within the larger organization. Despite being responsible for fostering a culture of growth and development, HR and L&D functions are seen as order takers rather than true strategic advisors. This results in struggling to get resources and buy-in from the larger organization for true permanent change. By understanding the barriers and following best practices in this webinar, change leaders can create the presence and partnership they need to be seen as a strategic advisor.

In this webinar, Be a Strategic Advisor: How to Lead without Formal Authority, Chris Wong will provide actionable strategies for leaders to be truly seen as strategic advisors among the executive leaders. In a time when learning and HR budgets are being trimmed, this is even more important to justify the business need.

Attendees will learn

  • How to reframe influence and trust.
  • The 5 barriers every HR and L&D leader faces working across organizations.
  • How to build social capital.
  • How to appropriately manage expectations.
  • How to think holistically.
  • The approach you need to use to be fully seen as a strategic advisor.
