While most people are wary of organizational politics,
political savvy individuals know how to manage them. Managing organizational
politics is essential to maximize credibility and impact within your
own and within your client organizations.
Political Savvy overcomes the taboo of discussing
organizational politics. It debunks the stereotype of organizational
politics as
a ‘shark’ infested manipulative underworld. Political Savvy shows
how influence can actually increase by operating ethically and
‘above board’. Using tools like the 51% guide, agenda linking, credibility
pathing, and political mapping, the Political Savvy approach gives
practical hope to those jaded by organizational politics to become
‘impact players’ and leaders.
Joel
DeLuca PhD will lead us in experiencing the tools and techniques
of the “politically savvy”. As an internal
and/or external consultant,
you can set yourself apart in today’s marketplace by utilizing
Political Savvy strategies to directly impact any organization’s
innovation,
implementation and success. The evening will be in a real-life,
highly interactive case study to elicit and explore hands-on
Political Savvy
strategies. Dr. DeLuca will be joined by Kathryn C. Mayer,
internal Political Savvy Certified Trainer at Salomon Smith Barney.
Ms. Mayer has seen the effectiveness of Political Savvy first hand
and instituted its use for more than 100 managers and leaders throughout
2002 at Salomon Smith Barney.
