Workshop 3: Negotiation and Influence | 2018-19
The workshop on Negotiations, Influence and Persuasion focuses on the various situations at work where you as a team leader or team member need to create positive outcomes for yourself and your team, even without any direct authority or control. This reflects most of the modern work environment where teams are spread across geographies and you work with people whom you do not meet regularly or are not co-located with and there are several dotted line relationships. The learning in the workshop will be through several simulations that represent contextual scenarios that play out often in business.
