Dealing With Office Politics For Leaders | Virtual Workshop
Develop the skillset to have an intentional impact while navigating complex and challenging work environments, all while prioritizing your natural integrity.
If you are currently working in an environment that is complex and challenging and you face ambiguity in increasingly demanding roles, chances are that you often notice that “unwritten rules” are at play and that organizational decisions are not rational and are not made openly.
At the same time, you might not know how to ‘play along’ or you might even intentionally choose to opt out because you interpret these so-called office politics as being all about "backstabbing," gossiping, and "sucking up" towards the honest people and you want to stay as far away from it as you can.
But refusing to “play the game” is a huge loss for both yourself as well as the organization. Opting out of office politics increases the chance that you are left out of key strategic decisions, positions and opportunities. This threatens the organization’s ability to achieve its desired results and will block your individual career progress.
Any way you look at it, office politics are here to stay. But the good news is that there are ways to get better at it without compromising your values. And the better news is that it can actually be positive.
“At Lead True we believe that workplace politics can become more satisfying and easier to navigate once you have the insights and the skills to be positively politically intelligent.”
At the end of the Political Intelligence™ Workshop you will be able to:
