Navigating Office Politics for Managers

Office politics. The very phrase typically garners a visceral reaction, everything from a subtle tensing of the shoulders to an eye roll, to an outspoken declaration that they will NEVER engage in political wrangling.  Here's the bad news: Office politics is not something you can opt out of. You are in it whether you like it or not. The good news is that if you choose to engage in it, office politics can be navigated in a way that is ethical and above board. Even better, when you learn to play the game, you can become a change agent in your organization.  This course addresses strategies to influence the outcome of
political situations during different career stages. Focus is on developing emotional intelligence;
conducting a political self-assessment; building networks of relationships based on trust;
identifying and responding to the generational perspectives through which individuals examine
issues; and handling political attacks and much more.
