Egos in the ExCo: Navigating power, personality and influence in the c-suite
I was one of those egos in the ExCo.
I didn’t always play my c-suite colleagues with a straight bat. I’m not proud of this. But it was all I knew at the time.
For many c-suite leaders, influencing at ExCo level is not just about expertise – or even about getting the job done. It’s full of booby traps related to complex personalities, competing priorities, power dynamics and maintaining boundaries without creating friction.
In this free 45-minute webinar hosted by Tom Emery, we will explore the role ego plays within executive teams and the impact it has on relationships, decision-making, and culture.
This session will examine how c-suite leaders can recognise and respond to dynamics at the top table, whilst maintaining credibility, influence and professional judgement.
You’ll leave with insight into how to operate more effectively within complex senior environments and how to influence with greater confidence and intention.
Participants will take away:
- A clearer understanding of how ego and power dynamics shape executive team behaviour
- Practical approaches for navigating difficult personalities and competing agendas
- Techniques for influencing senior stakeholders without escalating tension
- Tools for maintaining credibility, judgement and impact in high-pressure conversations
This webinar is designed for c-suite leaders and those aspiring to be in the c-suite, who want to lead and influence more effectively at the top of the organisation.
