Managing Up and Across: Building Influence Without Authority
Hosted by Alumni & Friends.
Titles can open doors—but it’s leadership skills that truly drive sustained career growth. Join us for a virtual Lunch & Learn featuring Leslie Griffin (COM ’06, BUA ’03, Questrom MBA’17). Leslie will share practical insights and real-world strategies for managing up and across organizations, building credibility, and influencing outcomes—regardless of title or formal authority.
