COURSE DESCRIPTION: Like gravity, office politics is simply a force that must be dealt with. Whether you love it or hate it, you have to manage the politics in order to succeed at work.
When people say, "I'm not good at office politics," they REALLY mean that they're not manipulative, opportunistic and self-promoting. Here's the good news: You can get a whole lot better at office politics, getting what you want AND benefiting your organization – without being devious or self-promotional.
How? That's the subject of this interactive audio conference, "How Successful Leaders Deal With Office Politics."
In this 60-minute session, nationally syndicated columnist Dr. Marie McIntyre will give you a completely new perspective on office politics.
