 Hi, my name is Michael and I have a question for you. When you hear the phrase, organization, politics, what do you think of? Do you think of a time when somebody took your idea, got credit for it, or a time when you were skipped over for a promotion that you rightfully deserve? Or maybe it was when somebody intentionally left you off of a meeting invitation that was really important. There's times like this that lead most people to have a negative approach to politics and want to avoid them. They think by avoiding organization politics, they're not going to get burned. But the truth is, whether you are avoiding organization politics or you have a Machiavellian approach to them, organization politics are always going to be there. The reality is that organization politics is neither good or bad. What makes organization politics unsavory are the means that some people use to accomplish an outcome that they are after. You can, however, approach organization politics not only positively but with a high degree of integrity. It is possible for you to accomplish everything that you want in the world of work and do it without compromising yourself or others. By attending ECTHAS Accelerate Workshop series, successively managing organization politics, you will first have an opportunity to assess your current approach to organization politics. You will also learn how to recognize when other people are using negative approaches to politics and how to protect yourself. Most importantly, you're going to leave the workshop with strategies for effectively influencing other people and promoting yourself and your ideas with high levels of integrity. You can sign up for this workshop by visiting ECTHAS website www.ecliff.org slash aws. Hope to see you in the workshop.
