AAAS S&T Policy Fellowships Professional Development Event

Workshop Overview:
In this workshop you will learn to:

• Successfully lead change initiatives.
• Diagnose the real causes behind problems and create real solutions.
• Influence behavior across the organization with or without formal authority.

The “Managing Up” workshop draws on the best practices of many of the world’s leading change agents and on five decades of social-science research to create a powerful model for changing behavior. You’ll follow the experiences of influence masters who have succeeded in solving some of the world’s most profound problems. Examples ranging from major healthcare reform to reversals of destructive social behaviors to unprecedented corporate turnarounds will illustrate how a proven set of skills makes change not only achievable but sustainable.

Based on the New York Times bestseller, and 2008 Business Book of the Year, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything, Fellows will learn to create rapid and sustainable change.
