The Ritz-Carlton

Power & Influence: Leadership Lessons from "12 Angry Men"
• Influence others even when you lack formal authority
• Understand your sources of power
• Find out how effective leaders create support and loyalty
• Understand why authority alone often won't get the outcomes you expect
Successful executives know that getting the results they want requires leadership skills and the ability to influence people. Leaders in almost any role, from parent to board member to CEO, can find themselves ineffective and frustrated if they become too reliant on formal authority. This session will delve into power and influence using as a "case" the classic film 12 Angry Men. It's a creative and interactive way to discover how a person can exercise leadership. Our Presenter Linda Sheidler Doyle, Ph.D. is an educator and advisor to organizations with a particular focus on leadership development. Her career includes 30 years experience at Harvard Business School (HBS), from which she retired in June, 2005.

It's been said that men are from Mars and women are from Venus—but have you ever worked with someone you'd swear must have come from Jupiter? Everyone assumes that they are acting rationally—but sometimes the behavior of others seems inexplicable to us. In this session we'll explore some of the many factors that shape individual behavior. Learn communication techniques to help you understand others and others understand you.

How to Avoid "Set-Up-to-Fail Syndrome" Webinar
(Part 4 of Climbing the Ladder Series)
May 10, 2010
Aspiring Leaders | 2:00 - 3:00 EST
Executives & Managers | 3:30 - 4:30 EST
Early career managers often find themselves promoted to manage former peers—and they often find that the skills that got them the promotion in the first place are not enough—or not even the right skills—to bring success. In this session we'll talk briefly about this issue. We'll also discuss the "Set-Up-to-Fail Syndrome" which managers (at all stages!) sometimes unconsciously inflict on their subordinates. See this issue from both points of view—you as a manager and you as a subordinate.

There's an old saying that it's better to give than to receive, but when it comes to a performance appraisal, many people find both giving and receiving stressful. This session will look at some of the underlying causes of that stress, and some structural ways to reduce it. We'll also discuss some specific techniques for improving outcomes for both the person giving and the person receiving feedback.
