Strategic Influencing – political intelligence™ - How to use politics for the benefit of everybody
In today’s complex work environment, studies have called political intelligence™ ‘the missing leadership competency’ because the ‘traditional’ skills of leadership are no longer sufficient to guarantee personal and organisational success. To beinfluential, you need to be able to effectively manage the political environment of both your own and your client organisation. Research indicates that the ‘negative’ aspects of organisational politics adversely affect morale, productivity and profitability; a recent survey from a leading international business school indicates that it is the number one cause of stress in the workplace. Today’s leaders need not only a keen awareness of their political landscape, but more importantly, the skills to maneuver effectively around political minefields using a set of behaviours critical to getting things done in a positive way for all concerned.
