Political Savvy Leaders

Dancing with the Stars To become politically savvy and build your power base:

1.   Map the political terrain. Identify all stakeholders and how they will react.  Recognize that some resistance is inevitable.

2.   Get them on your side. Build your coalition — a politically mobilized group committed to implementing your idea because doing so will generate valued benefits.

3.   Make things happen through leverage. You must win others’ buy-in by making it clear there’s a payoff for supporting your efforts and drawbacks for refusing to join your coalition.
