Target Audience: All FTO’S, CTO’S, and other Training Personnel, Team Leaders, Executive and/or Administrative Assistants

An informal leader has a great amount of influence within an organization. The informal leader is an individual within an organization that is viewed as someone worth listening to due to their perceived experience and reputation among peers. The informal leader does not hold any position of formal authority or power over the peers choosing to follow their lead but can influence the decisions of others. It is important for informal leaders to understand the great value that they bring to an organization and how they can be a valuable asset to the formal leaders of an organization as a whole.
