COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the course Managing Organisational Politics. This program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and manage the complexities of organisational politics effectively. Understanding and leveraging organisational politics can enhance decision-making, improve relationships, and drive positive outcomes within your organisation.

We begin with an introduction to organisational politics, where we define and explore its nature. You will learn about the importance of understanding organisational politics and how it impacts various aspects of organisational life.

Theories of organisational politics provide a foundational understanding of power and influence within organisations. This section covers power and influence theories, political behaviour in organisations, and various models that explain the dynamics of organisational politics.

Identifying political behaviours is crucial for managing them effectively. You will learn to recognise political tactics and strategies, identify signs of organisational politics, and differentiate between positive and negative political behaviours.

Understanding the sources of power in organisations is essential for navigating political landscapes. This section explores formal power derived from authority and position, informal power based on relationships and networks, and resource-based power.

Building political awareness involves developing key personal attributes. You will learn to enhance your emotional intelligence, situational awareness, and ability to read organisational culture to become more adept at managing political dynamics.

Navigating organisational structures requires an understanding of hierarchies and informal networks. This section covers the importance of understanding reporting lines, the role of informal networks, and managing cross-functional relationships effectively.

Strategies for managing organisational politics focus on building alliances and coalitions, negotiation and bargaining techniques, and conflict resolution and mediation to manage and leverage political dynamics constructively.

Effective communication skills are vital in political environments. You will learn techniques for effective persuasion and influence, active listening and assertiveness, and managing upward and downward communication to enhance your political effectiveness.

Ethical considerations in organisational politics are paramount. This section addresses maintaining integrity and transparency, ethical decision-making models, and balancing personal and organisational values to navigate politics ethically.

Managing change and political dynamics involves understanding the politics of change management. You will explore strategies for leading change, overcoming resistance, and building support to ensure successful change initiatives.

The role of leadership in organisational politics is critical for setting the tone and direction. This section covers leadership styles and political behaviour, building political capital as a leader, and leading by example to set high standards.

Developing political skills includes networking and relationship building, influence and persuasion techniques, and strategic thinking to enhance your political savvy and effectiveness within the organisation.

Case studies in organisational politics provide real-world insights and lessons. You will examine successful management of organisational politics, learn from political failures, and adapt strategies from real-world examples to your context.

Assessing and improving organisational culture involves conducting cultural audits, creating a culture of transparency and fairness, and implementing continuous improvement and culture change initiatives to foster a positive political environment.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the comprehensive knowledge and practical strategies needed to manage organisational politics effectively, ensuring a harmonious and productive work environment.

Delayed delivery otherwise ok
Size: Large, Color: (025) Castlerock Light Heather / / White
Seems of good quality so far. Very comfortable. Fits well and doesn't look baggy. Took away a star because it was delivered over a month after purchase

Warm and cozy for winter
Size: X-Small, Color: Black (002)/White
I. Love. These. Pants. I have them in three colors and I feel like I live in them during these midwest winters. They are cozy and comfy for around the house, but are totally cute enough to wear out and don't feel like typical sweat pants or pajamas like some joggers can. They are warm and snuggly inside, which I like, and have held up really well after several washes. I would say they run a little small, so consider sizing up unless you like a snugger fit. I am usually between an XS and Small and went with XS on my orders. They are slightly loose but not baggy. They also are not super long, mine hit me near the top of my ankle and I'm 5'4". It doesn't bother me, but I do find myself pulling them down at the ankle when I get out of the car or stand up from the couch, because they just seem a little high. For a comfy, warm, casual but stylish athletic type winter pant (exactly what I was after)... this is it.

They fit perfect and are super comfy
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / / White
Very soft and comfy! They are not the thickest to wear during a brutal winter, but they are warm. These are true to size (as recommended by my Amazon account). I loved these pants so much that I got me two more. They look great!

High quality, good fit
Size: XX-Large, Color: (001) Black / / White
These fit perfectly, not super baggy and lose but definitely not tight. I have larger knees so sometimes tapered legs are too tight on my knees but these are perfect. Waistband is perfect. Thickness is not too hot or too cold. Soft and breathable.

UA finally got the Tall size right!
Size: Small Tall, Color: (001) Black / / White
I'm 5'7" and 130 pounds. This is second time I've bought joggers from UA, size Small Tall, and OMG I couldn't be happier! UA FINALLY(!) got the Tall size right with these...the first pair I ordered about two years ago were supposedly Tall but shrunk up as soon as I washed and dried them. I like them to hit my ankles and not everyone is 5'4". Flattering fit - these sit at my belly button (not too low not too high) and are fitted not bulky. Material is heavier weight, well made, deep pockets, and perfect for Fall & Winter. After washing and drying with no shrinkage, I ordered another pair while still on sale.
