Leading Without Authority: Influence is no longer optional for project leaders

Tiphaine Coste, Global Business Developper & Indirect Leader, Danfoss

In today’s organisations, leadership rarely comes with formal authority. Project managers and indirect leaders are expected to deliver results through others across functions, priorities, and seniority levels without owning the hierarchy.

This is where many projects stall. The challenge is not your expertise or effort, but influence: getting alignment, commitment, and action when authority is shared.

Join this session if you experience the pain points of indirect leadership in project environments. We will learn how influence becomes a core leadership skill: to mobilise stakeholders, drive execution through others, and create faster momentum. The approach is simple, grounded in real project environments, and immediately applicable.
