Why play the\u00a0Office-Politics Game?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Office politics” are the strategies people use to gain advantage for themselves or to support a cause. The term\u2019s negative connotation derives from the fact that sometimes people seek advantage at the expense of others or the greater good. Negative politicking often adversely affects the working environment and the relationships within it. Good politicking, on the other hand, helps you fairly promote yourself and your cause in a context of networking and stakeholder management.<\/p>\n

During this high energy workshop, you\u2019ll learn the importance of knowing the political game. You\u2019ll be analyzing power, assessing the company\u2019s best interests and putting yourself in the other person\u2019s shoes.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be developing key skills to navigate the land-mines of office politics and how to spot trouble before it hits the front page of the news.<\/p>\n

While some of the game dilemmas may be humorous, the impact of ignoring office politics can ruin companies, careers and lives. This workshop will help you exercise your ethical muscles and better understand the policies\/behaviours that are the foundation of a positive, healthy and productive environment.<\/p>\n
