Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 25 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 50 minutes for this module.
Aims:
• To enable participants to understand that the words power and influence are, essentially, interchangeable.
• To help participants understand that power is an asset that can be used to help deliver positive change.
• To help participants understand that there are many sources of power and where their own power to influence comes from.
Group Size:
This module is suitable for use with larger groups of almost any size. It tends not to work well with very small groups.
Useful For:
All managers, but particularly those who are new to management and may not understand that power comes from many different sources, not just authority.
You'll Need:
• The Activity Link and your PIN from the My Account section of the member homepage.
Notes:
This is part two of three modules looking at influence, politics and power. It can be run on its own or combined with the other two modules to make a complete half day programme.
