a) People in India show a disregard for politics. They claim that they have
no choice. What do you propose for creating greater political
awareness?
Answers
Answer:
Organisational Politics and Political Awareness
Organisational politics—which occur in any group, team or organisation, whether social, commercial or voluntary—is a phrase used to describe the power relationships of the group.
In other words:
How do things really get done around here?
Who really has the power to make decisions?
Who acts on those decisions?
Organisational politics has very little to do with the official organisational hierarchy, and everything to do with people, in particular their relationships, personalities and past experience.
Political awareness is simply an understanding of these ‘power webs’ and an ability to navigate them, and therefore get things done.
Political awareness is closely linked to Commercial Awareness, except that where commercial awareness is chiefly focused on the external environment of the organisation, political awareness is more about the internal environment
