How Leaders Today Can Navigate Workplace Politics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Leaders and aspiring leaders looking to be successful in their company or organization must accept the role that politics plays in the daily happenings of the workplace. Great leadership includes the ability to not only be competent, educated, and well-versed in the tenets of the role, but also be perceived by others as competent in most all aspects of the mission with which he has been charged. At times, using perception appropriately will provide a sense of security that is needed for the leader to navigate political situations accurately and efficiently. This only truly occurs if one uses perceptive tools and techniques to ensure that one is viewed in a positive light even though they may not be the most qualified in a specific area of his role. It is impossible for one individual to be great at all things; however, an individual can be perceived that way. This books is an excellent resource for aspiring leaders looking for promotion in the workplace.
