Gaining buy-in for your ideas is a crucial skill for engineering leaders, and it can be a particular challenge when working across teams and departments. Often, teams with unified goals filter down to competing priorities, making getting buy-in that bit harder. So, how do you ensure everyone is invested in the project’s success, especially if your role lacks the leverage of management authority?

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • How to identify and prioritize your stakeholders
  • How to communicate a compelling vision so others see its value
  • Proven ways to align stakeholders across teams and functions
  • How to navigate resistance and handle difficult conversations.
