15 REASONS TO ENGAGE AND WIN AT OFFICE POLITICS

Office Politics raises the stakes around your career and you should learn how to navigate it in order to protect your interest.

In every organization, there are STAKEHOLDERS (including yourself), who have INTERESTS, and (are required to) take responsibility to pursue them through STRATEGIES.

There are naturally WINNERS and LOSERS. Within the workplace, people typically lose when they fail to recognize the workings, do not take responsibility to pursue their interests, and leave the turf for others (who may play in violation of the rules).

The Class covers the following:

1. What Office Politics really entails and why it exists in every workplace.
2. What you lose by staying passive about Office Politics.
3. What benefits accrue to those who engage in it actively and purposefully, and why every gain of theirs is a loss to passive or weak players.
4. How navigating Office Politics protects your performance and offers career benefits beyond your workplace.
5. Why it is okay, legitimate, and legal to engage in Office Politics.
6. How you can do Office Politics on your own terms and win.
7. The imperative of building 'political intelligence' as a skill to win in these increasingly difficult times.
