How To Have Influence When You Don't Have Power or Authority Recorded Webinar for Sites

Supervisors often are assigned to oversee individuals or teams but without the authority to impose meaningful consequences. Or a “self-directed work team” has no boss; they are just supposed to get along and make decisions on their own, regardless of the impact on the organization at large. What if it is your job to “herd kittens”? Ensure people get the job done within shared parameters.
