Organizational Savvy

Manage organizational dynamics in an authentic, ethical way.

Based upon the book, Survival of the Savvy by Rick Brandon and Marty Seldman, this program gives participants a more positive attitude toward politics and increases their influence and impact.

Your executives, leaders and employees may need these skills if their blind spots are resulting in:

• Inability to sell ideas.
• Missing organization’s hidden criteria for success.
• Being sabotaged by others.
• Being underestimated or pigeonholed.
• Lacking a network of allies and advocates.

Program Outcomes:

• Recognize potentially negative actions of overly political, power-oriented colleagues, bosses, or customers—and yourself.
• Learn practical, non manipulative strategies for entering the political arena while maintaining integrity.
• Learn how to present your ideas or challenges others’ ideas with appropriately firm vocabulary, and adjust your language according to the power dynamics of the situation.
• Help people accept and manage organizational politics as a corporate fact of life.
