Part III: Understanding How to Work with Political Styles 6Understanding Your Own Political Style Through the use of an assessment instrument, The Inventory of Political Styles, which is included here, readers are able to analyze their own primary, secondary, and tertiary political styles. This chapter describes nine political styles and offers insights about how typical behaviors connected with each style can help or hinder the individual and the organization. 7Working Effectively with Other Political Styles The reader learns to analyze the political styles of other key players and to customize a set of strategies that tend to be persuasive with those of various styles.

In it we define such leadership and give you ways to cope with this style. 11Digging Your Way Out of a Political Hole Problems are examined that arise from digging yourself a political hole, and tips are offered on how to get yourself out of it. Part V: Pulling It All Together 12Practicing What We Preach Scenarios give the reader practice in using the strategies and ideas presented in the earlier chapters to become a politically intelligent leader. 13Questions: We Get Questions In this final chapter we answer the questions posed most often in our speaking engagements.
