Colleges of the Fenway
October 27, 2009
9:00 am – 1:00 pm (includes breakfast)
Simmons College, School of Management, 5th Floor
Politics, Power and Influence
· Wrestling with politics in your organization?
· Budgets and head-count shrinking?
· Coalitions shifting?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you will want to attend this session. Professor Shapiro will help you reframe politics as the process by which scarce resources are allocated across competing demands, and strategize how to participate in that process.
You'll participate in an experiential exercise to test out uses of power and influence, and then develop strategies for using both in your own
organizations.
When: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 from 9am to 1pm (Breakfast provided!)
Presenter: Mary Shapiro, Associate Professor, Simmons School of Management and Faculty Affiliate, Center for Gender in Organization
