This Career Talk offers the opportunity to reflect on power processes in one's own environment and one's own roles in micropolitical games - as "victim" or as "actor" - on the basis of a theoretical approach.
With the organisation-theoretical concept of micropolitics, we can examine manifestations of the of the everyday construction and use of power in organisations.
Micropolitics means actively influencing what happens in organisations. This is not only about the communication behaviour of executives. Self-interests (which may well be ethically motivated) are pursued at all levels and individual or collective strategies are used to exert influence informally or to avoid control. Informal, officially unsanctioned practices - micropolitical games - often have a stronger impact than formally regulated procedures. It is open whether others are benefited or harmed.
Participants in this event will interactively explore the question of where 'goldfish ponds' can be found alongside 'shark tanks' characterised by fierce competition: micro-worlds characterised by trust that are oriented towards common goals.
