Leading When You’re Not in Charge
The LinkedIn Learning course “Leading When You’re Not in Charge” offered innovative strategies for exerting influence without formal authority, which is highly relevant to my Management Information Systems studies. This course taught the importance of utilizing the authority one does have by enhancing credibility, contributing positively to team dynamics, and setting an example.
I learned about navigating informal power structures by building relationships and establishing trust, skills crucial for leadership in technology-driven fields like MIS. The course highlighted ways to mobilize resources and garner support collaboratively, essential for leading projects and initiatives from any position.
