Lateral leadership: How to convince with influence instead of hierarchy

How do you convince others when you are not a disciplinary manager—but still have responsibility? In this 45-minute expert talk, two experienced trainers show you how to lead effectively even without official authority. They share their combined knowledge from many years of working with managers and combine proven strategies with the latest insights into changes in the world of work. It's not about power, but about winning over teams with personality and expertise—and achieving success together.

The focus is on three central pillars of lateral leadership:

  • Influence instead of instruction: You will gain an insight into how you can build trust and respect and be convincing without hierarchy.
  • The art of persuasion: How you can use clear communication to overcome resistance and inspire your team with your vision. With practical tools, you will remain capable of acting even in complex situations.
  • Effective tools: The most important methods and tools that strengthen your role as a lateral manager and help you achieve goals more efficiently together with your team.
