While most are wary, great leaders know how to manage organizational politics. This seminar vividly brings to life the interplay of power, politics and influence, both upward and across the organization. We will debunk the stereotype of politics as emerging from an unethical manipulative underworld. The key is to know the strategies that enhance our impact on the organization. These strategies work hand-in-hand with the personal characteristics and tactics of leadership that we may already possess. Participants will learn to diagnose political styles and map political terrains. Principles such as the 51% guide and agenda linking will help participants navigate political dynamics, demonstrate ethical leadership, and further career success.

*Institute for Management Studies:
St. John’s has a membership with the Institute for Management Studies (IMS). This means that you will now have easy access to a variety of management and professional development topics beyond our standard curriculum. As an added benefit, we will give one complimentary seat for each NYC session, on a first come, first served basis (note: one complimentary seat per person, per year.) See enrollment policy below.

Enrollment Policy Note:
There is a cost associated with IMS programs. Please ensure your full commitment to attend before enrolling in an IMS program, including your supervisor’s approval and coverage in your absence. IMS retains a minimal number of seats for St. John's University participants, and it is important that anyone who enrolls is committed to attending as there is significant cost to the University for last-minute cancellations.
