Great leadership includes the ability to not only be competent, educated, and well-versed in the tenets of the role, but also be perceived by others as competent in most all aspects of the mission with which he has been charged. At times, using perception appropriately will provide a sense of security that is needed for the leader to navigate political situations accurately and efficiently. This only truly occurs if one uses perceptive tools and techniques to ensure that one is viewed in a positive light even though they may not be the most qualified in a specific area of his role. It is impossible for one individual to be great at all things; however, an individual can be perceived that way. This books is an excellent resource for aspiring leaders looking for promotion in the workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeadership is vital today, perhaps more so than ever before. An essential component to sustain successful organizations is strong and collective leadership. Rich Tomko’s book Perception is Key: How Leaders Today Can Navigate Workplace Politics provides a plethora of suggestions to help those practicing leadership to identify specific actions and attitudes that will enhance their ability to read, acknowledge, and influence others. As a student in my MBA class on leadership, Rich demonstrated strong ability to connect ideas and frameworks to practical applications. Connecting theory and practice is an important value for leadership development. Readers of this book will find similar value to their own development. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Rick Milter, PhD, professor, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy Read this Book?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Politics 101\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Perception in Workplace Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Why Do We Cut Our Grass?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Perception Defined Across Careers and Industries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Polioptics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Using Perception to Navigate Workplace Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Becoming Aware as a Leader\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Modeling Your Skill Set\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Pride in Performance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Competitive Persuasion for Leaders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Diction in Leadership\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Every Day is an Interview\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Perception and Planning (Short-term and Long-term Goal Setting)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Words of Power and Promise to be (or not to be) Perceived As\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Learning from the Leadership of Others: Change Leadership vs. Change Management\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Culture, Perception, and the Workplace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Competency\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 18: The Gold Standard Rule: Question Before Comment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Using Perception to Navigate Workplace Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 20: Perception is Key\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040309510487,"sku":"9781475853919","price":57.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781475853919.jpg?v=1750946332","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/perception-is-key-9781475853919","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
