Surviving Office Warfare - "What Got You Here Won't Help You Survive Here"
You've gotten where you are in your organization through your subject matter expertise, hard work and demonstrated results. Here's the problem. Everyone at your level of the food chain got there through subject matter expertise, hard work and demonstrated results. And there are a lot of you competing for fewer and fewer opportunities. To get to that next rung of the ladder, you need to master a much subtler set of strategic and tactical rules.
The Surviving Office Warfare session will present you with those senior level skills to ensure you survive and even thrive as you ascend. The course will address the practical aspects of senior office life that are essential for survival in today's challenging office environment. You will examine how attitude, values, and beliefs influence organizational performance and how high you can climb. You will discover how to demonstrate grit and resilience, overcome setbacks and avoid the derailments that end so many careers.
Learning Objectives:
- Why much of upper-level success is based not on technical skills but attitude and savvy.
- The Executive Survival Framework.
- The effective use of Executive Presence.
- How to turn your peers into your greatest advocates.
- Political competence and emotional intelligence.
