Learning Objective: Assessing methods for navigating corporate politics from the male perspective

Do you know why women are not sitting at the leadership tables in your organization? Have you ever thought that, if given the opportunity, you could help make your organization better? Many professional women have reported feeling left out of key decisions or impacted by the politics that lessen their contributions. At the same time, several top women executives who continue to excel say YOU must learn to understand, rise above, and effectively use politics to get things done. In her book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, COO of Facebook Sheryl Sandburg encourages women to promote themselves in order to achieve professional advancement. This session is part one of a two-part series that will help women to address the best methods of navigating organizational politics from the all-male panel’s perspective.

At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Identify how men view organizational politics.
2. Learn the skills and traits used by male employees to be successful in organizational politics.
3. Explore possible opportunities and challenges in various industries.
