Abstract

Political behavior is human and is an inevitable part of the landscape of any organization. Political savvy involves accounting for differences in power, status, and interests of stakeholders within and without an organization. Leaders must discern, navigate, and ultimately influence the organizational landscape, which includes political behavior. Effective leaders seek to transcend gamesmanship and engage stakeholders in efforts to advance organizational vision. In complex organizations where authority is dispersed among many leaders and experts, leaders need to develop skills to “lead without telling people what to do.”
