Political Skill at Work: Revised and Updated - How to influence, motivate, and win support

WHY IS POLITICAL SKILL SO IMPORTANT IN BUSINESS? In today''s organizations, career success depends more on political skill-the ability to influence, motivate, and win support from others-than on almost any other characteristic. Political Skill at Work delivers the "how" to influence at work, not just the "what." The authors of this innovative study explore how people high in political skill are more successful at getting hired, building a reputation, and establishing leadership. From the worlds of business, politics, education, and sports, they offer compelling examples of political skill in action. And for the first time, they provide ways to measure and enhance this powerful ability. Now fully revised and updated, it incorporates 4 new chapters and an additional 13 years of research and practice that redefine what it means to be politically-savvy and will help you develop the skills, backed by science, for operating effectively and being productive.
