Influencing and Managing Politics

Leading and managing any organisation to success requires more than just good managing skills. In an increasingly challenging political and economic environment, it is essential that people involved in any sports organisation are able to negotiate their way through the complexities of organisational politics and the external political landscape. This module introduces the concept of influencing and examines the nature of local organisational politics. It explains a range of approaches that can be used to help people working in sport influence and managing the political environment in which they operate.

The module comprises six topics covering generic influencing skills and approaches.

The topics are:

1. Introduction to Influencing
2. Understanding your audience
3. Key elements of local democratic structures
4. Political awareness
5. Developing a position for your service
6. Re-positioning your service

This module is designed for people working in a paid or unpaid capacity in sport and who wish to develop their skills in influencing people and organisations. It is particularly useful for aspiring junior and middle managers involved in any sport organisation.
