Course Overview

Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on persuasion in resistant environments, which nobody trained them for. When resistant environments is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the organisational leadership discipline among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants apply persuasion in resistant environments to their own management team throughout, so the output is directly usable. The version of this aspect of organisational leadership described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. They leave able to brief senior management on resistant environments in terms that support a decision. It establishes a shared vocabulary for persuasion in resistant environments so that teams can disagree productively about it. The programme works equally well for those formalising resistant environments for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the organisational leadership capability that participants can repeat annually.
