Abstract

This is an interpersonal and systems case in which Jim Davis, in a staff position, has been given the responsibility for results that can only be achieved through influencing line (branch) managers over whom he has no direct authority. This case lends itself to role-plays of different kinds that should yield useful insights into the process of influence without direct authority.
