Political Savvy: Advance Your Career By Expanding Your Influence

    LOS ANGELES, CA, August 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Institute for Management Studies (IMS), a leading organization in executive leadership and management development, will be holding a full-day seminar titled "Political Savvy: Advance Your Career By Expanding Your Influence" on Tuesday, September 17th, in Los Angeles, California. The seminar will take place at The Double Tree Hotel, 120 S Los Angeles Street, starting at 9:00 AM.

IMS may be a familiar name in executive management seminars. Four weeks prior, on August 13th, they held a seminar on "Keeping People Motivated". The September program will focus on how to vividly bring to life the interplay of power, politics and influence - both upward and across the organization. Dr. Jaggard will debunk the stereotype of politics as emerging from an unethical manipulative underworld.

Speaking at this seminar will be Dr. Dwight Jaggard. DR. JAGGARD consults, coaches and teaches around the world on leadership development, team building, enhancing communications, political savvy and influence and technical topics. His blend of interpersonal, business, academic and technology skills provides an ideal background for working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. He received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), is a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), and is director of the EMTM (Executive Master's of Technology Management) Program at Penn. He was the co-founder of a high-technology business. Dr. Jaggard has successfully taught over a thousand students the foundations of leadership -- including politically savvy. He has published some 120 journal papers, authored numerous book chapters, been awarded several patents, edited a book and given several hundred presentations.
