Political Skill at Work: Impact on Work Effectiveness By: Gerald R Ferris, Sherry L Davidson, Pamela L Perrewe

Author: Pamela L. Perrewé

In today’s flatter, matrix-based organizations, the ability to influence and motivate others is key to both individual and organizational success. This is the essence of political skill and everyone wants more of it. But what do we know about how it really works? Political Skill at Work is the first thorough examination of an ability that is as subtle as it is powerful. The result of more than 15 years of research, this well-documented study is rich with examples of individuals using political skill to succeed in the corporate world, government, education, and sports. Combining scholarship with practical advice, the authors explore what political skill is and isn’t, why and how it works, and how it can be measured and developed.
