Negotiation & Hard Bargaining Skills - The two terms listed here normally would be found happening in corporate board rooms all the time what with businesses & its stake holders facing challenges on a day to day business. In the realm of politicking the concept of negotiation & bargaining picks up around elections - most times it stems from the confusion associated with seat sharing, election campaigning by leaders sitting in far flung Delhi.

Win Win Relationships - You work for the organization & the organization will then works for you - once a corporate executive cuts his/her teeth for their organization the organization repays them for their talents, integrity, hard work etc. In the politicking context if you have fought hard for your organization in the bargain picking up fights, bruises & at times bullets the party may choose to reward with a position which can be manipulated & milked using a variety of above the board means listed for transparency at a level of minus 2.0 (for new entrants into the portals of power or positions there is a book available titled "Below the Table by Dr. Red Tape & Dr. Adchan)

HR & Man Management - Both in the world of politicking & business the king maker is the one with the fan/ fool following - to a certain degree it rallies around the power to rally people behind you often times at very short notice - ability to transport people at times literally so that the right men are available with the right tools read rods & swords for the right job (to avenge or to seek revenge).

Financial Investment Planning - Financial resources are scarce in most cases - it takes extreme detailing which could take the form of hedging in order to keep financial risks or shortfalls away. While the corporate world has financial planning wizards aplenty the world of politicking is I suspect short on talent. Don't be surprised if politickers end up hiring on the first day (which is considered to be hunting for the best talent there is) from the top B Schools - after all it requires wizards to manage earnings from myriad sources/ interests.
