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.

It’s very wobbly. I followed all the instructions but it’s a flimsy and wobbly end table.

Great For Battery Chargers On a Shelf!
Love this power strip, had it for probably a year plus now abs works great! The sole reason I purchased this item was so I can select what stays on and what gets turned off. I have this in my utility room and the sole purpose is to plug in battery chargers and to be able to turn off those battery chargers and leave the charger sitting there with the battery in the charger with no power. There is a light that tells you when a product is on and when a product is off . Example: I have AA&AAA battery charger, Ryobi leaf blower charger, Ryobi edger charger and any other charger I want. I have a night light plugged into it because angle allows that. The strip also has a USB that I use for a rechargeable Dremel used for dog nails or toy could use it for cell phone etc. My Flying Pig Grooming Dryer is attached and used with this strip as well. I have had no tripping issues with this power strip but I do keep in mind one high power items such as my grooming dryer at a time. I have a different company's power strip in my room just for you ladies it hidden behind a mirror and you can keep all your appliances plugged in and cell phones with the option of turning them all off with a button, cutting off power. This is an easy to reach power cord great for putting on a shelf. I am not sure how well it would work behind furniture due to the angle of the plugs. This worked with no issues and I would recommend this and purchase again. Now I am not concerned about saving items due to power surges with this power strip, I have strips that cost a lot of money a lifetime guarantee for those high end electronics like computers TV sets Etc

Good setup
This has been super useful and functional, I recommend it as it’s a nice way to keep your setup organized, I enjoy having the on and off switches go each outlet, only call out would be the buttons light up when on to show they are on and they are quite bright, so take note of it, it catches me off guard sometimes when I forget they light up and I turn my lights off, but it’s easier to keep in mind what I have charging. The speed of charging is good, the amount of plugs is a fair amount, I plug in my head phones, phone, watch, power bank and monitor. Then there’s the two usb as well as 2 usbc ports, it’s very convenient. It held up well it’s definitely good quality.

Thoroughly enjoy this product and will purchase again
I purchased two of these at different times. I really like this item. I like the idea that I could shut off some of the switches that I really don’t need. I have one set up in the guest room for when we have company they can turn on whatever plugs they need. I’ll always have alarm clocks lamps telephone jacks hooked up, but all the switches are turned off so it doesn’t waste electricity. (that’s my theory anyway.) I purchased a second one to go beside my chair in my living room I don’t need that many outlets at all times but occasionally I do and I enjoy again like having the opportunity to shut off any outlets that I’m not needing at the time it seems to me it’s a good power saver and I do like the USB ports everything fits and it’s perfectly organized and it’s great quality surge protector and durability. I hope this review assist you in anyway and I will probably come back and purchase a third one for another room once I get that room cleaned out Truth Hurts on it, but that was my testimony.. This is my honest review in my opinion I hope it’s able to help you make your decision. I personally don’t think you would go wrong but I don’t know what you’re plugging into the outlet so I think that makes a bit different. I just use it for lamps and telephone jacks or small items I don’t use anything. It pulls a lot of voltage. . Y’all take care of yourselves be kind to one another and go see your parents or your grandparents or a family member if anything else pick up the phone and tell them hello and you were thinking about Let’s spread love, not hate
