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.

  • The weakest
  • The one you would like to improve on: (it does not have to be your weakest).
  • Review the ideas for using this tactic, and write down a few ways in which you will work at developing your skill.
  • Think of a specific situation in the near future in which you can use this tactic to help you get what you want. Briefly describe the situation, and explain how you will use this tactic—-what you will say and do, and so on.

Power

  • Write down the one type of your power you would like to improve on
  • Review the ideas for increasing this type of power, and write down a few ways in which you will work at developing your power.
