Foundation in Organizational Power Mapping & Influence

Most professionals are taught to focus on performance, working hard, meeting deadlines, and achieving targets. Yet, careers often plateau even with consistent results. That’s because organizations don’t function on performance alone. They move on perception, trust, credibility, and influence; the invisible dynamics that determine who gets recognized, trusted, and chosen for growth. This course helps participants decode these unwritten rules. It reveals how power truly operates inside workplaces, not as dominance, but as a relationship-based exchange of trust, clarity, and value. Through real organizational scenarios and reflective exercises, learners build the ability to read power networks, identify hidden influencers, and communicate in ways that create authentic visibility without politics or self-promotion.
