 1. What does your power profile look like? (expand on this response and go into the positives and negatives)

I am very excited to achieve my goals well and successfully. That's because I want something done and particularly with Obsessive power profile r to be done almost perfectly when I have a goal.

I will have tremendous difficulty in understanding and communicating my feelings as I am not flexible in my religious or ethical convictions, I would prefer to treat emotions like machines. Together with their need to fulfil expectations, they are hardship in their duties, exposed to tension even more than a non-obstinate human (Liu, 2021).

2. Does this seem lobe an accurate reflection of your actual situation? I Do not Just simply say 'yes" or 'no", expand on the respond and how this will impact your role in an organisation. 

The profile accurately reflects me. As Organizations are essentially political entities, and authority and control are essential tools for doing stuff. My political profile therefore it will increase my power diagnosis and analysis, exposing me to successful and relevant influential approaches, and explaining how power and authority can be used to create co-operation and facilitate progress in organisations (Fodor & Riordan, 1995).

3. If you wished to change your power bases, which would you change? 

The lack of a good personality is the start of failure. Just those willing to stand out have a shot and more in politics in this hyperconnected world, where facts and communications of all types are permanently bombarded. So, to change my obsessive behaviour I need to have 

• Sense of intellectual or moral superiority
• Belief of deserving special treatment
• Interpersonal exploitation, does not hesitate to lie, take advantage of others and secretly or openly betray whoever it takes to achieve his personal goals.
• Lack of empathy and sensitivity to criticism

4. How would you try to change these bases? (provided substant we responses) In regard to "how political are you" questionnaire responses and ratings, respond to the following questions: 

The concern is that this fascination with order and laws are frequently disregarded and the key purpose of the operation is out of view. In reality, far from facilitating their daily lives, such characteristics are an obstacle which can harm their jobs, interpersonal relationships and cause considerable discomfort. Works hard and is accurate and systematic. They have a far brighter skill and professionalism than their personality. I do it carefully and keeps himself within legal limits. I take a long but stable decision-making approach. It takes account of dynamic variables and spends extraordinary time avoiding errors.

5. What have you learned about political behaviour in organizations? 

Any behaviour would be regarded as democratic. However, the belief that individuals or organizations achieve something at the detriment of other workers, groups, or the organisation is also linked to calling action politics.

• These are attempts at social influence.
• They are discretionary, that is, they fall outside the prescribed or prohibited areas - by the organization.
• They are designed and intended to promote and protect personal or group attempts.

6. What implications follow from these results concerning your future management style?

Power is a central aspect of an organisation, which I could find in the preparation of this work. While in industries there are different forms of control, there are various ways to do it. My management style will be influenced by my obsessive behaviours. As we saw, corporate influence, which manifests in a group, contributes to political behaviour (Fodor & Riordan, 1995). Political behaviour in a firm is unavoidable because of discrepancies and judgment ambiguity. The positive and negative implications arising from political behaviour. I will not misuse my authority, because by using it arbitrarily, I can't really do what I like.
