Leadership success: True leaders are politically astute

By consciously developing your political acumen, you can:

  • increase your personal power without compromising your integrity or taking advantage
  • save your energy for the important things
  • get the right advice
  • protect yourself from political damage
  • get ahead
  • read the climate
  • cultivate your influence
  • manage your boss more effectively
  • turn others’ political styles to your advantage
  • survive and flourish in the face of nasty politics
  • deal with difficult people.

True leaders build their team’s political acumen

Your success and your team’s success doesn’t only depend on how well you operate in the organisation. If you truly want your team and your team members to be successful, it’s your responsibility to ensure they act astutely. And if they haven’t got the natural gifts, mindset or incentives to do so, you need to act.

While these programs are public, I can work with you to create a program specific to your team, your context, your strategic challenges.
