SUMMARY:Power Games and Micropolitical Competence in Academia (and Beyond)
DESCRIPTION:This is an event organised by the TUHH Graduate Academy, taking
  place online.\n\nThis workshop helps you better understand the power dynam
 ics in your organization. Whether you feel stuck, frustrated, or just curio
 us about certain interactions at work, this is your chance to reflect on yo
 ur role and develop new strategies to deal with tricky situations more effe
 ctively. You'll learn how to use your own strengths and become more confide
 nt in navigating everyday politics at work.\n\nSocial dynamics at research 
 institutions can be confusing. Formal rules don’t always apply, expertise d
 oesn’t always count, and cooperation can break down due to hidden rivalries
  or personal agendas. These experiences can be frustrating, but they’re not
  uncommon.\n\nIn this workshop, we take a closer look at the informal side 
 of how decisions are made and roles are shaped — using the concept of micro
 politics. It’s not just about people in charge; power plays happen at every
  level. People often act in their own interest, sometimes for good reasons,
  using informal influence or trying to avoid being controlled.\n\nThrough d
 iscussions and practical reflection, you'll explore how power works in your
  own workplace, recognize your own role and learn how to act more skillfull
 y in these situations. We also consider how different backgrounds and persp
 ectives can shape power dynamics.\n\nYou’ll leave with a clearer view of wh
 at’s really going on in those hallway conversations — and how to handle the
 m.\n\nMethods:\n\nbrief introductions to concepts and modelspractice-orient
