Leading without auhtority: How to influence others when you don't have "position power" (part 1)

Consider the last time you were in the situation where you had to influence or lead someone who held a higher rank, a loftier tittle or had more experience than you did. Chances are you shuddered at the thought, subconciously devaluated what you had to offer and, as a result, did little to persuade your team or audience to follow you.

But it didn't have to be that way. We all face situations where we asked to speak to, or lead, others who are higher on the food chain or have more formal authority than we possess. Perhaps you're a project manager asked to lead a temporary project team of high-ranking technical experts - and work with an internal sponsor "in charge" of the initiative. Maybe you're a human resource manager trying to sell a stingy chief financial officer on a new employee training program. Or it could be you're simply someone who regularly offers up ideas for improvement-only to see them go nowhere. The good news is there are proven ways to be more influential in situations when you don't have the "position power" to make people naturally pay attention or fall in line with your ideas.

Firstly, your ability should come across as authentic, knowledgeable and credible grows even more vital if you don't carry an impressive title or have vast experience.

If persuasion is your end game, there is no subtitute for mastering your subject matter or seeing a situation from your audience's eyes. If people believe your intent is to serve - be it other people, your own department or the organization as a whole - rather than advance your own career or agenda, they are more likely to ltrust you, believe in you and follow you, even if you don't have formal authority or a management title. An attitude of servant leadership gives you influence.
