Positive political skills in the workplace: be a strategic player
Politics are an undeniable part of corporate life. Criticized by many as inherently negative and underhanded, political manoeuvring and the skills that come with it can actually (and should) be a force for good within an organization. This is what defines an effective political player: someone who can wield political authority ethically and constructively to influence other stakeholders.
During this seminar, you will acquire the skills necessary to exercise your informal power in an optimal manner, and learn tactics and strategies that will enable you to be more politically savvy, strengthen your impact and play the game to win!
