Political Savvy Advantage™ Seminars
All the Political Savvy seminars are dynamic and highly participative. The workshops handle group sizes from 5 to 200 participants. They are tailored to needs of the client and can run anywhere from 90 minutes to one week. The seminars employ powerful interactive simulations and dialogue stimulating exercises using comparisons with research based ‘politically savvy benchmarks’. They dramatically address the relationships between leadership and organization politics. The sessions debunk the stereotypical view of office politics as an unethical manipulative underworld. They grab those frustrated and jaded by organizational politics and gets them to break through victim and cynical mindsets. The exercises re-ignite the spark to make a difference. The principles such as ‘the 51% guide’, ‘agenda linking,’ and ‘ credibility pathing’ provide the means to navigate political dynamics in ways that maximize impact and demonstrate ethical leadership. The political savvy dimension of leadership includes a specific influence mapping tool that serves to create an overall influence strategy. This macro level strategy greatly leverages the more micro level interpersonal skills such as negotiation, persuasion, communication, active listening and emotional intelligence. Interpersonal skills within a political savvy strategy thus become a great one-two punch in impacting the organization. Lively debates ensue throughout the seminars. They typically bring out the critical importance of both quantitative and qualitative skills in being a leader. They also show the importance of such issues as trust and networks. The seminar comes in a variety of formats to accommodate various organizational needs. See why the core aspects of the seminar and book have recently been used at Harvard, Yale, MIT, Wharton, the FBI Academy and other universities to prepare their graduates for success in the new realities of business. Corporations such as Xerox, Victoria’s Secret, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Siam Cement, Lockheed Martin, New York Life, Credit Swiss Boston, and others around the world are also beginning to use the seminar and book to gear their best and brightest to succeed given the enormous challenges they face.
