5 Strategies to get more BUY-In from the C-Suite!
Presentation by Bruce W Waller, VP, The Armstrong Company CRP, PHR, SHRM-CP,
As a business leader in the HR Community, I often hear HR professionals talk about the frustration and sometimes disappointment around the lack of "buy-in" they receive from top leadership when presenting ideas for change. Many people don't realize there is a strategy to increase your influence and effectiveness as a business leader and when they don't have a strategy, it often creates stress and burnout. I teach HR professionals “how to sell” by outlining 5 strategies that I have used as a sales leader and as a volunteer leader… These strategies will help you sell yourself, your ideas, and create more influence for you in the workplace… starting with building trust. I have collaborated with dozens of top-level HR leaders and high performers to get their insights that will help you grow in your career. These strategies include building trust, identifying the right problem, building a business case, developing sponsors, and being persistent as a leader. We will also talk about how to "speak with confidence" to build our brand too.
This session is about learning strategies to develop more influence in the workplace and to get more buy in from the C-Suite!
1. Learn ways to build more trust in the workplace.
2. Identify the "right" problem.
3. Build a business case. It’s about the data.
4. Develop Sponsors around you every day.
5. Being Persistent as a LeadHR in the workplace.
- Learn why building trust is the starting point to getting more buy in.
- Learn it's more than getting buy in, and great leaders influence others when they align problems with company mission, objectives, and goals for success.
- Learn the value of developing sponsors in the workplace and how to use them to help you get things accomplished.
This session will provide relatable, applicable, and strategic takeaways for attendees to take back for immediate application to create more influence in workplace... which will also elevate confidence and growth for too!
