Are you ever stuck in conflicts that seem unresolvable? Do you sometimes wonder about the cause of a conflict, but can’t put your finger on it? Do you ever avoid particular people because the interactions are unpleasant?
In most work environments, power dynamics are an issue we have to manage. Sometimes these dynamics are unseen and unspoken. At their best, power dynamics can be used to build productive relationships, influence others in positive ways, and interact with political savvy. At their worst, power dynamics can result in limited, black and white thinking, bullying and ultimatums in the workplace.
The power point presentation will help you understand various sub-topics under the head Power and Politics.
Sub- topics covered:
1) Bases of Power
2) Power Tactics
3) Factors affecting Power and Politics
4) Defensive Behavior
5) Impression Management

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

18. Trust
Trust is defined as to have confidence, faith or
hope in someone or something.
(https://www.yourdictionary.com › trust)
According to Stephen Covey, “the first job of
any leader is to inspire trust.”
Trust means that you rely on another person’s
integrity to do what is right and provide a
sense of safety.
19. CHARACTERISTICS VISIBLE IN ORGANIZATIONS WITH
HIGH LEVELS OF TRUST:
Credibility: employees mean what they say, and believe what they
say is true. They have the confidence that the actions of others will
remain consistent with their words. Management is seen to be
ethical in its business practices.
Respect: employers support their employees’ professional growth
and offer consideration of their ideas in decision-making processes.
Fair treatment: employees believe they are treated fairly, regardless
of their position within the organization.
Interaction: something as simple as a conversation between co-
workers, or a five-minute chat in the break room between managers
and employees, can convey a willingness on the part of one person
to do something that is to the benefit of another person’s health and
well-being.
20. The following mnemonic can be kept in mind when trying
to improve trust in an organization:
T = Teach: Teach everyone in the organization how things
work; make it as transparent as possible.
R = Reward: Make sure reward systems align with
corporate value and goals.
U = Unconditional Support: Encourage innovation. Create
an environment where mistakes are opportunities to learn,
not to punish. Give employees permission to “think outside
the box.
S = Share Information: Communicate clearly and
frequently.
T = Trustworthy: Make commitments and keep them.
21. Delegation
The transfer of authority within
prescribed limits.
Appointing a person to act on one’s
behalf.
Entrusting of authority, power and
responsibility to another.
22. A simple rule is the SMART acronym, or better still,
SMARTER. It's a quick checklist for proper
delegation. These tasks must be:
Specific
Measurable
Agreed
Realistic
Timebound
Ethical
Recorded
23. The steps of successful DELEGATION :
1.Define the task
2. Select the individual or team
3. Assess ability and training needs
4. Explain the reasons
5. State required results
6. Consider resources required
7. Agree deadlines
8. Support and communicate
9. Feedback on results
