CSU ORG515 Option #2: Office Politics

Option #2: Office Politics

As you have read in this week’s required readings, there are multiple factors that can contribute to office politics, and every organization experiences office politics to some extent. Choose an organization and analyze that organization in terms of politics. You must identify the leader and organization, and provide a URL to the website of either the organization or the leader. Then, create a narrated presentation.

Answer these questions in your presentation:

• What factor(s) contribute to the politics?
• What strategies do effective leaders use to navigate the politics?
• What strategies do ineffective leaders use to navigate the politics?
• What role does leadership in general play in the organization’s political climate?

Presentation Requirements:

• Your presentation should be either a 5- to 8-minute video or 10-12 narrated slides with images and detailed speaker notes (between 75 to 100 words per slide), not counting the title and reference page slides, which you must include in both the video and slide presentation.
• You may use your smartphone, webcam, or other video recording device, PowerPoint or an internet-based program such as Prezi or Slide Rocket. Be sure to include the URL of your presentation when using internet-based tools. Paste the URL into a Word document and upload it with your presentation.
• You may also record your audio/video presentation using the Schoology tools. Click here for a Schoology tutorial on how to add audio or video to an assignment.
• Incorporate two scholarly references that are not required readings for this module. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find your sources.
• Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA. See the Example PPT Presentationin the Online Research and Writing Lab for information on presentation development.
