Influencing Across the Matrix
Presented by:
Julie High and Eileen Garger of BlessingWhite
How often do you hear complaints such as “but they don’t report to me!” or “I can’t make them do it.” The behaviors and skills required of employees in a matrix organization differ from that of a traditional, hierarchical workplace. Behaviors that were once a “nice to have” are now cornerstones to employees’ success and ultimately the organizations’ success. Mastering these skills often requires a shift in mindset, while formal training helps to practice and reinforce these matrix-survival behaviors. Join representatives from BlessingWhite as they help teach us how to survive and even thrive in a matrix organization.
