Power dynamics are fundamental to the effective exercise of leadership in organisations. This subject develops students' ability to create and use sources of power beyond formal authority, formulate strategies and tactics of political and social influence, and exercise skills that make a more effective leader. Readings, case materials, subject assignments, and a field action project focus on the challenge of sustainable political advantage in organisations – the rules of the game, basic power diagnostics, exploring circuits of power, building legitimacy and rationality.
