The Power of Positive Politics
KayWise and NaomiKarten

Did you ever want to just outlaw office politics? Do you worry about sneaky political maneuvers you fear could hurt you? Wish you had the power to get what you want? Would you like to better understand organizational politics? This session, adapted from Kay and Ken Wise�s book-to-be, The Power of Positive Politics, offers ways you can use politics as a potent force for change. This session will introduce a few Wise Power Principles, analyze common political binds and define the true meaning of power. We'll look at defensive measures for when you�re on the receiving end of negative tactics and discuss how you can advance politically without offending your moral sensibilities. You'll also get an update on our friend, Machiavelli, advisor to princes and project managers.
