Overview
Are You Politically Savvy? Harnessing Social Intelligence for Lawyers
Most people avoid office politics, associating it with meddling, taking unfair advantage and manipulation. Accordingly, none of these negative behaviours helps career success or advancement. To get ahead in any organization requires social competency and intelligence. During this 75-minute session, participants will be introduced to five dimensions of social intelligence (SI) including Situational Awareness, Organizational Awareness, Influence and Authenticity, Relationship Management and Communication. Using a short, self-scored questionnaire, participants will discover their individual strengths and challenges on each dimension. Skills for each dimension will be discussed and practiced. Learn how to increase your SI and become more politically savvy.
