Power is the ability to influence someone to do something that they would not do without encouragement. Various types of power and power strategies depend on the level of influence. The existence of different levels of power in an organization gives rise to organizational politics.
Politics can arise between individuals who differ from each another. To avoid confrontation arising from differences, it is important for people to recognize the benefits of diversity within their organization.
In this course you will learn to: identify different levels and types of power, identify strategies to manage diversity and to communicate in different cultures, and identify the steps and guidelines for empowerment.
