	Influence Without Authority

	Understand the working dynamics of your organization - the nature of power and influence, your own personal sources and style of influencing others, and know how to leverage your power to get things done. The ability to exercise influence without authority is one of the most important skills an individual can master. Getting things done in an organization often requires you to exercise influence to get tasks and projects accomplished even when you may not have the formal authority to mandate action. Whether you are stuck in the organizational hierarchy, or on an adhoc team you need to be able to influence the actions of your team members to ensure the successful completion of the task at hand.
