Master informal leadership and drive collective success, no matter your role.
Early in my career, I distinctly remember a complex project. It demanded vital support and teamwork from colleagues across multiple departments.
The significant hurdle? I held no formal authority over any of the individuals whose assistance was absolutely critical. I wasn’t their manager, nor did I hold a more senior position.
This situation forced a crucial realisation: simply requesting help wouldn’t be enough. My role demanded I lead them, inspiring rather than directing.
This formative experience ingrained a vital truth: genuine leadership isn’t about your job title. It stems from your impact, inspiring others towards a common goal even without direct command. It truly transformed my understanding of influence.
My latest article dives deep into the subtle yet powerful skills required to influence and lead effectively, regardless of your official position.
