Now that the session is nearing the end and you've read and written a great deal about the use of power and politics, it is a good time to assess yourself on what you've learned and what you may need to think and improve upon in your future career. Fortunately leading academics have developed a survey to help you assess your knowledge and skills in organizational power and politics. It is very important to be as honest as you can, and answer the questions as you normally act, not as you wish you would!
