Mastering Political Chess
How to Lead Organizational Dynamics With a Strategic Mindset
Mastering Political Chess is a highly specialized program in developing political relationships and therefore the ability for organizational advancement. We support individuals to navigate a given political landscape in a constructive way and to neutralize potential issues before they escalate.
This Four-day interactive learning program adjusts attitudes about power and politics, confronts naiveté about organisational dynamics, and provides practical political skills for building organisational impact with integrity.
The goal of this learning program is to equip leaders with a range of new techniques that will help them to:
-
- Inspire individuals to think politically: build alliances, support systems and partnerships that will strengthen the foundations of the organization.
-
- Motivate individuals to look deeper and work harder to achieve synergetic relationships within the organization.
-
- Provide tactics on how to deal with resistance and objections in the most effective manners to facilitate harmony.
-
- Gain a more positive attitude toward politics as a fact of organizational life. Reduce complaints and resentment about this reality, which in turn increases energy and productivity.
-
- Learn practical, non-manipulative strategies while maintaining integrity, such as networking, promoting themselves, handling hidden agendas, selling ideas to stakeholders, managing the corporate “buzz,” avoiding sabotage and building a power base.
-
- Assist their organisation to establish a more positive company reputation through the practice of ethical politics.
