How do you influence senior leaders?

If you’re an HR leader or HRBP you’ll know this challenge, because you face it every day. Getting business leaders to give their active support to HR’s work is vital. You can’t deliver results without it.

Let’s face it, some senior stakeholders can be pretty tricky. Often, it’s just because they’re focused on their own priorities. That’s why HR have to position their people agenda in a way that brings to life how it will deliver value for that stakeholder.

Sometimes you’re pushing for the budget for a people intervention, and often it’s something more day-to-day like advocating for better management.

Either way, if you want to brush up your influencing skills and get new ideas for building the business case, we ran a webinar in April (How to influence senior leaders) which offered fresh ideas for your influencing challenges.
