Building on Your Success
You’ve made a great start in turning your political dilemmas into opportunities. Here is how you can keep learning. This is a wide subject area, and the more you learn, the more you build your success. To help with this, we have created a web site that provides more tools, articles, and information to support your learning: www.PoliticalDilemmasAtWork.com.
Along with insightful information, you’ll also find a range of tools that can help you learn. These include a “Personal Power Diagnostic” and our unique “Influence and Political Styles” psychometric. These were developed to help our clients become more influential by gaining greater understanding of their unique qualities.
We would also like to suggest the following books, which provide excellent support in the development of influencing skills:
• Influence without Authority by Allan Cohen and David Bradford. This subject is now more important then ever as our organizations and roles become more complex.
• Managing with Power by Jeffrey Pfeffer. Since publication in 1992, this has remained one of the most practical and authoritative books on the subject of power within organizations.
• The Empowered Manager by Peter Block. Published back in 1984, the contribution this book made to the development of authentic politics in organizations continues to grow.
These are just a few of the many books we love. You’ll find more recommendations when you visit us at www.PoliticalDilemmasAtWork.com.
We wish ...
