Influence Without Authority — Getting Buy-In Across Functions

In today’s increasingly complex organisations, leadership influence does not always come from having formal authority. Leaders often need to bring people together across functions, cultures, priorities, and different KPIs to move initiatives forward.

At our recent EGN Cross-Functional Virtual Event, leaders came together with Robin Miles, Founding Partner & High-Performance Coach at Inspireme Consulting, to explore practical strategies for influencing without authority and creating meaningful buy-in across functions.

Key Takeaways:

1. Listen before you influence. Seek to understand different perspectives before pushing your own ideas.
2. Ask better questions. Curiosity can open the door to collaboration and reduce resistance.
3. Challenge your assumptions. What we believe is not always the full picture.
4. Focus on shared interests. Look beyond different positions to find common ground.
5. Turn resistance into insight. Understand the reason behind resistance instead of pushing against it.
6. Build alignment, not agreement. Effective influence is about helping people move forward together.
7. Better conversations lead to better decisions. Active listening, empathy, and curiosity strengthen collaboration.

A sincere thank you to Robin Miles for sharing such practical and thought-provoking insights on influence, collaboration, communication, and decision-making.

Thank you also to Dona Amelia for bringing our EGN community together, and to all our EGN members and guests for your active participation and thoughtful contributions.

At EGN, we believe that better decisions are made together. Through trusted peer learning and open conversations, leaders gain new perspectives, challenge their assumptions, and find better ways to navigate real leadership challenges.

We look forward to seeing you at our next EGN Peer Group and Cross-Functional events.💙

In Episode 3 of The Resilient Quick Take, Michael Adick highlights a critical trap that many leaders fall into during times of change and uncertainty: trying to carry the whole load alone.

When crisis strikes, inexperienced leaders often default to solving every problem themselves, fearing their team isn't capable or willing to handle the pressure. But as Michael points out:
- Taking everything on yourself disempowers your team.
- It leaves you isolated and ultimately ineffective.
- True resilience comes from trusting and involving your team in the response.

Effective leadership isn't about having all the answers; it’s about trusting your people to help find them.

As AI continues to transform the way we work and communicate, one leadership skill remains deeply human: the ability to connect.

At EGN, this is more than a leadership quote. It's a principle that shapes every conversation in our peer groups.

Leadership is not about having all the answers or being at the center of every decision. It's about creating an environment where others can think independently, lead confidently, and grow beyond what they thought possible.

In this short reflection, 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮, 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗚𝗡 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮 & 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮, shares why developing future leaders is one of the greatest responsibilities of today's executives.

Through trusted peer learning, honest conversations, and shared experiences, EGN empowers leaders to grow, not only for their own success, but to multiply leadership within their organisations.

Because the true legacy of leadership isn't what you achieve alone.

It's the leaders you help create.

𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀?

As businesses evolve, so do the challenges leaders face. New markets, changing customer expectations, technological disruption, and increasing complexity all demand more than experience alone.

Sustainable business growth requires continuous leadership growth.

The most effective leaders recognise that they don't have to navigate these challenges in isolation. They seek diverse perspectives, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn from peers who have faced similar decisions.

At EGN, we believe that better leaders build better businesses. Through confidential peer groups, executives gain fresh insights, challenge their thinking, and make more informed decisions with confidence.

💡This week, take a moment to reflect:
