Answer to Question 1

Managing politics can be accomplished in a number of ways including enlisting the support of key players, being consistent, and ensuring stability. It is important for managers to enlist the support of key players. Once pivotal individuals are identified, it is necessary to ascertain how the change will likely affect each of them, how each is likely to react to the change, and the methods available to influence them. Managers must also attempt to ensure consistency in words and actions. What managers say must be congruent with the actions taken or being reinforced. Finally, managers must build in stability. People can absorb only so much change at once. It is necessary to create stability during the implementation. This requires sending consistent messages to lessen uncertainty.
