Programme Description
How palatable does the phrase “office politics” sound in the ears when openly canvassed? How many executives own up to partaking in it?
Many managers and employees react to it as carrying with it a dirty connotation. But willy-nilly, it catches up with executives and employees. The point is, in most work environments expect to deal with authentic persons and expect to deal also with people who just are schemers.
Advisable not to take it for granted, because this course is designed to promote your self-mastery and personal development at work.
