Language: English.
This workshop nurtures lateral leadership skills to improve communication with supervisors and nudge superiors toward the goals that matter the most. On the first day of the workshop, participants are provided with a framework through which to assess their relationship with the supervisor, they identify realistic objectives that they wish to achieve, are introduced to a number of techniques to achieve these objectives and, finally, develop a plan to address outstanding issues they might have with their boss. On the second day of the workshop, participants meet the trainer through a series of one-to-one meetings. Within this context (30 min), they have the opportunity to discuss their specific situation, eventual challenges they are facing and possible ways forward to improve the relationship with their supervisor or address difficulties they might be experiencing
