From the course: Leading without Formal Authority
Getting started
- What does it mean to be a leader? A specific title? A handful of direct reports? Many years of experience? Sometimes but not always. Organizations rely on all types of leaders, many of whom don't have formal leadership authority. Hi, I'm Lisa McLeod. - And I'm Elizabeth Lotardo. We work with leaders, both formal and informal, all over the world. And in this course we're going to be talking about leading without authority. - How do you lead when you're not the official boss? - There's a number of techniques you can use. Some of them are obvious and some of them not so much. - [Lisa] We'll talk about mentoring, mindful listening, positioning yourself, and leading in tough situations. - [Elizabeth] We'll also cover how to leverage your role and become a need-to-know person inside of your organization. - Join us on LinkedIn Learning and see how to lead without formal authority.
