The Strategic Influence Blueprint

This tactic is for those willing to put in extra time and effort to create structural change in how your organization handles transitions like these. Since your colleague's departure could have widespread effects, you’ll need to influence not just a single meeting but long-term strategic decisions that span funding, personnel, and more. To do this, you’ll build a coalition of stakeholders, strategically guide them through complex conversations, and position yourself as the go-to person for solving this problem. Over time, this will help you elevate your influence across the organization.
