How to Successfully Navigate Power and Politics with Integrity with Strategic Influence Skills
Political skills Training Program
Despite excellent intentions, many of us become victims of “behind-the-scenes” political and power dynamics operating in their organizations in the form of turf wars, ego, and even sabotage. This high-energy intensive two-day political skills training program adjusts attitudes about workplace power and politics, confronts naïveté about organizational dynamics, and provides practical political skills and strategic influence skills for building organizational impact with integrity.
Because politics are part of every organization, we believe that organizational savvy is a mission-critical competency for today’s leaders. At their worst, internal workplace politics threaten an organization’s ability to achieve its desired results and block an individual’s career progress. At their best, workplace politics ensure that high-integrity, competent people achieve positive power to create high performance with integrity”
Learning Objectives
In this unique political and strategic influence skills program, participants receive a “political wake-up call” on the business need for entering the political arena. People learn to read the signals that they may be under-political, realize a more constructive definition of “politics,” recognize two primary Political Styles with their strengths and risks, and hone 13 non-manipulative strategies for navigating corporate politics with integrity.
