Software Project Management White Papers

Leading With Power

Overview Organizations by their very nature are political so effective project managers identify their sources of power and become politically sensitive. This paper covers the elements of a political plan and shares an approach, examples, and insights that turn potential victim scenarios into win-win political victories. Key elements are to apply the components of a revitalization model and speaking truth to power process. A metaphor describing three of the animals in a political jungle helps to identify and characterize traits that need to be addressed or accommodated if a leader wishes to exercise influence and achieve project results.
