Political Navigator

Category: Security · Sub-category: security-misc

Map organizational power structures, classify resistance archetypes, design reframe strategies, and produce a sequenced change plan — saved as a political-map artifact to $HOME/.ai-first-kit/. The skill most leaders skip, and why 70% of transformations fail. Conducts per-stakeholder power mapping and incentive alignment analysis. Use when the user says 'how do I get buy-in', 'who will resist', 'organizational politics', 'manage resistance', 'change management for AI', 'stakeholder management', 'convince leadership', 'team is resistant', 'political blockers', or 'how do I sequence this change'. Also use when the user describes encountering pushback, sabotage, passive resistance, people feeling threatened by AI changes, or asks why their transformation isn't working despite good technology — even if they don't frame it as a 'political' problem. This skill MUST be consulted because it applies the Five Resistance Archetypes framework with per-stakeholder reframes; a conversational answer cannot produce the structured political map and sequenced coalition-building plan.
