Managing Organisational Politics
Description
Prof Jonathan Passmore, Professor of Coaching & Behavioural Change, Henley Business School, UK
“This book is an invaluable guide for anyone wanting to create an inclusive work environment despite the complexities of office politics… Whether you're a seasoned executive or just starting your career, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to thrive in today's competitive business environment.”
Dr Riza Kadilar, EMCC Global President, The Netherlands
For employees, managing politics is a core skill. For coaches and mentors, there is the constant dilemma of how to help a client thrive in a political environment while remaining authentic. Coaching, Mentoring and Organisational Politics draws on the experiences of coaches, mentors, leaders and managers from around the world.
As all organisations are political environments, politics are likely to affect every coach at some point in their professional career. The authors expertly navigate this complex topic, going beyond collating existing concepts and undertaking new, first-hand research into what issues are considered “political” and the challenges they pose for leaders.
The book:
- Includes case studies from a wide range of organisations, from the public sector to ‘Big 4’ firms
- Contains an Organisational Politics Awareness Tool to encourage reflection and dialogue
- Offers practical approaches for maintaining integrity
Coaching, Mentoring and Organisational Politics is an invaluable guide for coaches and mentors struggling to navigate the complexities of professional politics or who simply want to learn how to best support their clients in politicised environments.
