Skill Development-Influencing, Power, and Politics

To get what you want, you need to develop your ability to influence others and gain power through politics. It is helpful to read about these topics and how to improve your skills, but unless you apply the concepts in your personal and professional life, you will not develop these skills.

This preparation covers three skills, each with two activities. The first activity is to develop a general guide to daily actions you can take to increase your influence, power, and/ or understanding of politics. The second is to think of a specific situation in the future, and develop a plan to get what you want.
