Entrepreneurial leadership without authority – Creating movement across boundaries
You see an opportunity. You have an idea. Something needs to change. But you cannot make it happen alone.
Working internationally, across partnerships, alliances, supply chains and cultures, this is often the reality. You depend on people you do not manage, decisions you do not control, and priorities that are not your own.
Leading without authority is not a secondary skill. It is a core competence for professionals working in complex projects.
Join us for an interactive webinar exploring how to create movement from where you are: connecting your idea to what matters to others, mobilising people and resources beyond your control, and taking a first step even when the path is not yet clear.
This session offers a taste of MDF's approach to entrepreneurial leadership: human, purposeful, and grounded in the realities of working across boundaries.
Key takeaways:
- How to recognise where there is energy and opportunity for change
- How to bring others into your idea without relying on hierarchy
- How to build trust and commitment across teams, organisations and cultures
- How to mobilise the knowledge, relationships and resources already around you
- How to start small, learn and create momentum
Bring a real idea or challenge from your own work. Leave with a clearer sense of who you need, what may move them and what you can do next.
The webinar takes place on Thursday, 13 August, 11:00 to 12:00 noon via Zoom.
