Power and Politics in Professional Careers
Power and Politics in Professional Careers
New York - 09h00 to 10h00 / London - 13h00 to 14h00 / Paris - 14h00 to 15h00 / Dubai - 17h00 to 18h00 / Singapore - 21h00 to 22h00
Many professionals believe that if they work hard, and deliver results, their careers will take care of themselves. They are wrong. Wanting “office politics” not to exist does not make it go away.
Part of the problem is that politics at work is hidden. Firms insist that decisions are meritocratic. Skilful operators conceal the extent of their political activity.
But power and politics are not a failure of professionalism, more a defining feature of knowledge work in large complex organisations. This is true in professional services, but also in finance, healthcare, education, government and beyond.
In this webinar, we will draw on Professor Laura Empson’s research into professional services firms to show how mid-career professionals can learn to better navigate power and politics at work.
We will discuss:
- How to see past the organogram and map real power at work
- Why political behaviour is not a bug, but an integral part of organisational life
- How much time and energy successful senior leaders devote to politics
- Why your rational business case may fail to persuade, and what to do instead
- How to better understand the psychological needs of your colleagues and bosses.
