The idea of "Leading from the Middle", as opposed to a top-down linear model, is becoming a more desirable approach to leadership. This workshop will examine the qualities and skills necessary to successfully lead from where ever you are on the organizational chart.

Participants will learn tips on how to influence others to follow your lead - from your peers to those persons in higher positions of authority. We will also identify several examples of U-M employees who are successfully leading from the middle as well as those who started there but have advanced to prominent leadership positions,

The power of effective leadership is locked within you so let's explore how to tap into it!
