The McKinsey Influence Model Training Presentation is a facilitation-ready deck designed to help leaders and managers understand how to influence behavior and drive organizational change.
Developed by McKinsey & Company, the model identifies four building blocks of influence that organizations can leverage to embed new mindsets and sustain transformation:
✅ Fostering Understanding and Conviction – Clear communication of why change is needed.
✅ Reinforcing with Formal Mechanisms – Aligning structures, processes, and incentives.
✅ Developing Talent and Skills – Equipping employees with capabilities to succeed.
✅ Role Modeling Leadership Behavior – Leaders demonstrate desired behaviors.
This presentation provides a structured overview, activities for each building block, a leadership self-assessment checklist, implementation guidelines, and pitfalls to avoid, making it a practical resource for leadership development, change management workshops, and organizational transformation initiatives.
