Setting yourself up for formal leadership

“

- What does it mean to be a leader? - A title, a handful of direct reports, years of experience? - Sometimes, but not always. Organizations rely on all types of leaders, many of whom don't have formal leadership authority. - In this course, we're going to dive into what it takes to lead without formal authority. We'll cover how to add value in meetings, voice your feedback, and inspire the people around you. - We'll also cover the distinction between setting expectations and giving orders. How to ask for help without eroding your reputation and why leading without formal authority can set the stage for more formal leadership later. - Plus, you'll have the chance to see these techniques in action and practice your own skills with the power of AI coaching. Hi, I'm Elizabeth Lptardo, the author of Leading Yourself. - And I'm Lisa McLeod, the author of Leading with Noble Purpose. - Join us on LinkedIn Learning to learn how to lead without formal authority.
