Project HEADWAY: A Political Primer for PMs: Exercising Influence without Authority

 

This presentation is supporting material for this video.

We all have to engage in politics. Many of us, however, would prefer not to. Some of us don't think we have the skills to be political. Others of us view it as something negative, and would rather avoid it altogether.

Politics is about getting things done. Whether we recognize it or not, we engage in politics (of some sort) every day of our lives. In fact, many of us would probably be surprised by the degree of political awareness and skills that we already do have. Moreover, the act of engaging in politics can be define in a process, one that can be understood and applied by just about anyone.

Join Mark Mullaly as he explores politics in a project environment, and provides an overview of the political skills that any project manager should have to survive and thrive in their workplace. You will learn strategies for exercising politics productively, as well as for addressing instances of negative politics when they unavoidably turn up.
