About the Course

In this course, you will look at how you can effectively manage stakeholders and industry/organisational politics, whilst successfully mobilising people. You will: – Consider how to build momentum and how to work across organisational, sectoral and country cultures. – Explore how you can align your mission with the organisation’s purpose and manage the politics to influence the organisation. – Look at how to lead in a matrix/complex structure as well as how to make your changes real. This course is aimed at leaders and managers who have five to six years experience and who are beginning to manage teams, customers and clients more regularly or more directly.

By the end of this course, you will be able to: – Work across organisational boundaries and engage with a wider group of stakeholders. – Navigate the realpolitik of their wider organisation and understand the importance of engaging with the political dynamic. – Extend and leverage your networks to be better positioned for the next phase of your career. – Identify levers for change and how best to utilise these in order to increase the possibility that your initiatives and programmes will be adopted....

I thoroughly enjoyed ‘leading across the organization’! I learned so much about my strengths and opportunities for leading across my organization and learned that I’m already doing some of this. I enjoyed that this course was not only experience but research based, and I felt like the reflections and the assignments were real-world applicable, and I appreciate that! My only complaint was that the final assignment instructions did not match the rubric that I discovered when reviewing my peers’ assignments. Please either have the rubric as the instruction or have the rubric available so that students know the detailed requirements. Thank you for a great content course! Happy new year!

I loved the course, a wealth of useful information which would be beneficial for anyone stepping into change, but certainly takes longer than what's specified in the beginning. Also didn't feel the need to rate other's essays to finalize the course.

Great content, engaging, and practical. Puzzles and assignments help digesting the theory.
