Course Overview

Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in internal resource negotiation is earned separately. The hardest part of this area of organisational leadership is rarely deciding — it is holding the decision when it becomes unpopular. The programme works equally well for those formalising this aspect of organisational leadership for the first time and those improving an existing approach. What blocks progress on internal resource negotiation is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants finish able to explain this part of organisational leadership to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the wider organisational leadership agenda, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The programme converts internal resource negotiation from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The professional literature on the organisational leadership capability converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within organisational leadership ready to put in front of a decision maker.
