Training Course Overview
Organizational politics are the informal practices through which individuals influence others and manage shared meanings in the workplace. Politics should be approached as a neutral phenomenon to be analyzed, rather than judged as good or bad.
This Organisational Politics and Power Dynamics training course provides a deep dive into why workplace politics exists and helps you develop the skills necessary to manage these dynamics effectively. You will learn how to assess the political environment, choose appropriate actions, and implement them in a way that appears sincere. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to succeed in politically charged work environments.
