What is the Lead with Influence course about?
You're leading in a mobile-first, fast-moving environment where traditional management doesn’t cut through. You’ve trained in agile practices, yet translating that into daily influence, especially across hybrid or distributed teams, can feel inconsistent. Without a clear framework, it’s easy to default to reactive oversight instead of intentional leadership.
