WCAN September General Meeting:
 
"Organizational Savvy: Avoiding Political Blind Spots" 
 
September 24, 2008
 
Do you sometimes feel you lack broader influence and impact? 
 
Do you assume that your excellent work should just "speak for itself," and then wonder why you get passed over for promotions? 
 
As much as you may hate "playing politics" often times power and politics dynamics, perceptions, turf and ego, or even sabotage may be happening without your knowlege.
 
Join WCAN for this high-energy intensive presentation which adjusts attitudes about organizational politics and confronts naiveté about organizational dynamics, which often result in you being passed over, underestimated, rendered expendable, or even purposely blocked from implementing your ideas or being promoted.  Learn how to develop the organizational savvy you need to move forward in your career!
