Agenda

1. POWER

2. EMPOWERMENT

3. POLITICS
Empowerment
- Power sharing, the delegation of power
or authority to subordinates in the
organization.




                   (Star Wars, 1977 )
Empowerment
Reasons organizations adopt empowerment:

1. As a strategic imperative to improve products
  or services
2. Because other firms in the industry are doing so

3.To create an unique organization with superior
  performance capabilities (best)
Empowerment
 Reasons empowerment is not embraced:
1. Managers fear the loss of power, control and
  authority.
2. Employees are not capable of making responsible
  responsible decisions.
3. Prior attempts to empower employees failed.
4. Not everyone wants to be empowered.
Elements of empowerment
1. Employees receive information about company
  performance.
2. Employees have knowledge & skill to contribute
  to company goals
3. Employees have power to make substantive
  decisions
4. Employees are rewarded based on company
  performance.
How does an organization implement empowerment?

  The Empowerment Process (accomplished in 5 stages):

1. Diagnose conditions that lead to employee powerlessness
2. Implement and engage employees in empowerment practices
 and activities.
3. (A) Remove conditions identified in the first stage.
  (B) Feedback to subordinates regarding their self-efficacy
4. Feelings of empowerment among employees.
5. Behaviors of empowerment are adopted by employees.
Other Keys to Effectively Empowering Employees


1.   Delegating responsibility is contingent on delegating authority too.
2.   Must communicate to subordinates that it is OK to make mistakes.
3.   Information sharing provides employees with “big picture”
4. T&D    so employees can effectively perform new responsibilities.
5.   FEEDBACK!!! (Expectancy Theory)

Agenda

1. POWER

2. EMPOWERMENT

3. POLITICS
Politics

   power system
2. Designed to benefit an individual or subunit
3. Ofter at the expense of the overall organization
4. Politics are played at all levels of an organization
5. Tactics are perceived differently at all org levels.
Political Behavior:
Henery Mintzber identified 13 Political
Games to describe political behavior in
organizations.
          Purpose of Political Behavior:
     •Resist Authority
     •Counter the Resistance to Authority
     •Build Power Bases
     •Defeat Rivals
     •Bring about Organizational Change

9 Specific Tactics Used by individuals to influence their
superiors, co-workers, and subordinates to do what they want:
1.Consultation.            • Participation
2.Rational Persuasion.     • “Logically Best”
3.Inspirational Appeals.   • Values & Ideals
4.Ingratiating Tactics.    • Obligation

8.Personal Appeals         • Loyalty & Friendship
9.Exchange Tactics         • Future promise
Cialdini’s 6 Pervasive Influence Tactics

1.Reciprocation                        •Obligation to repay what was received.
                                       •Reciprocal Concessions

2.Consistency                          •Desire to be, and appear to be, consistent.
                                       •Nobody want to be labeled a “flake”

3.Social Validation                    • Popularity: if a bunch of other do it I will too.

4.Liking                               • People prefer to say “yes” to those they like.

5.Authority                            • Claims of experience, expertise or credentials
                                       • Problems arise when claims are false.
6.Scarcity                             • Items and opportunities become more
                                        attractive as they become less available.
                                       •“limited supply”, “one-of-a-kind”
              * Cialdini, Robert (February, 2001). The Science of Persuasion. Scientific
              American, 14(1) 2004: 76-81.
Currencies: The Source of Influence
•Basis of influence is based on mutually satisfactory exchanges.
•Individuals are influential if their offers are need by others.
•Power = Ability to meet others’ needs.

Common Types of Organizational Currencies:
 1.Inspiration-related.
 2.Task-related.
 3.Position-related.
 4.Relationship-related.
 5.Personal-related.

         *Bradford, D & Cohen, A (Winter, 1989). Influence Without Authority: The Use of Alliances,
         Reciprocity, and Exchange to Accomplish Work. Organizational Dynamics, 17(3): 5-7.
4 Keys to Effective Influence
1.Think about the person you want to influence as an ally, not
  adversary.

2.Know the world of the potential ally (e.g., their pressures,
  needs, goals).

3.Be aware of key goals and available resources that may be
  valued by the potential ally.


4.Understand the exchange transaction itself so that win-win
  outcomes are achieved.

         *Bradford, D & Cohen, A (Winter, 1989). Influence Without Authority: The Use of Alliances,
         Reciprocity, and Exchange to Accomplish Work. Organizational Dynamics, 17(3): 5-7.
Managing Power Effectively
1.Recognize that there are multiple interests in every
  organization.

2.Know what position relevant individuals and groups hold with
  respect to issues important to you.

3.Understand that to get things done you must have power, and
  in the case of those who oppose you, you must have more
  power than they do.

4.Recognize the strategies and tactics through which
  organizational power is developed and used.
Takeaways

•   Outside factors influence our values, behavior, attitudes,
    decision-making, personality, etc.

•   Being controlled and controlling others is easy --
    anybody can do it. But, it’s dangerous when you fail to
    understand and recognize what is influencing you to behave,
    think, feel, etc. one way or another.

•   Nobody can achieve true autonomy when making decisions,
    however, an awareness of the Power of Power, Politics and
    Influence will allow objectivity and better choices made.
POWER, Empowerment
    &   Politics:

Influence Without Authority: The Use of Alliances, Reciprocity, and Exchange to Accomplish Work. Organizational Dynamics, 17(3): 5-7.
  • 80. Managing Power Effectively 1.Recognize that there are multiple interests in every organization. 2.Know what position relevant individuals and groups hold with respect to issues important to you. 3.Understand that to get things done you must have power, and in the case of those who oppose you, you must have more power than they do. 4.Recognize the strategies and tactics through which organizational power is developed and used.
  • 81. Takeaways • Outside factors influence our values, behavior, attitudes, decision-making, personality, etc. • Being controlled and controlling others is easy -- anybody can do it. But, it’s dangerous when you fail to understand and recognize what is influencing you to behave, think, feel, etc. one way or another. • Nobody can achieve true autonomy when making decisions, however, an awareness of the Power of Power, Politics and Influence will allow objectivity and better choices made.

  46. This threshold can be wider or slimmer depending on the superior’s additional sources of power. as OD consultants we are more concerned with improvement, maximizing(better word) and effective performance. (e.g., the “above-and-beyond” mentality) as opposed to, “Yeah, I’ll do it. I’ll comply. But just because I don’t care one way or another. Sure. Fine. Whatever. I’ll do it”.

  53. 2. People respond to different rewards. So, the reward must be of value to the follower. 3. Opposite of Reward Power. Don’t need to have Legitimate Power. Could be co-workers. Based on the fear of being punished, not necissarily the punishment itself. *Not independent of eachother. An effective manager will use combinations effectively
  54. Every organization has its’ own unique structure. Just like every person is motivated by different rewards.
  55. Based on: 1. beliefs in the legality or rules = most common 2. beliefs in traditions. church, 3. character, individual person.
  56. 2. When a person has open channels to resources: $, human, technology, materials, customers, etc.... - Relies on Authoritative/Formal Power. - In orgs, Resources are allocated downward along the lines of the hierarchy. The higher up= more power to allocate resources. - Top-level over lower-level managers b/c lower must receive resources from above to accomplish goals.

  63. When I think of Subunit Power I think of IT departments. Who are pretty low on the organizational totem pole (located in the basement or broiler room in most organizations), but when the systems crashes or people are having computer problems their essential work cannot be accomplished. e.g. - oscar, who saved the day last week - we couldn’t have done our presentations -- Dr. KrIger wouldn’t have been able to teach us according to his lesson plan -- MGSM would not be able to give us the education we’re paying good money for.... you get it. 2- CU boulder’s football team got a new stadium and our theatre department couldn’t afford tools needed to build sets. 3- flow of information through your department 4- can anyone else do what we do? 5. Foresight and furture oriented predictions- especially for technology -Development of products- often people who know the products are the ones who work with them every day. (e.g., manufacturing workers at Nucor know what machines are effective and which ones cause hold ups much better than the CEO or other Senior Exec. -Absorb other units problems- IT

  66. self-efficacy=motivation Remind you of any organization? ...say one we did a case study on recently?
  67. 3 (B) increases feelings of self-efficacy. individuals who are high in self-efficacy = confident & self assured = greater likelyhood of success. --So, increase in self-efficacy --> strengthens effort-performance expectancies.

  68. EG the Suck-up is loved by the teacher, but is hated by his classmates.
  69. 1. Participating in action planning 2. “logically best” 3. appeals to values or ideals 4. Obligation b/c they did something nice for you 5. Peer pressure 6. demands, intimidation, or threats 7. claiming authority 8. appeal to loyalty and friendship 9. future promise of receiving a reward
  70. *Reciprocal concessions= Foot in the door vs. door in the face technique. Offer something horrible that they will reject, then offer them something less terrible that they might agree to. 6= scaricity= novelty, uniqueness, and the desire to have something that few other people have makes it cool. *Believed these influencers to be relevant cross-culturally *Has an evolutionary point of view: in order to survive we sought out the following___________ By understanding persuasion techniques, we can begin to recognize strategies and thus truly analyze requests and offerings.
  71. RELATIONSHIP CRUCIAL.Mutually beneficial. This is cool because Bradford and Cohen seem to take into account the crucially of the RELATIONSHIP. Because you Power only exist in a “relationship” from one person or group to another.
