Ep. 68 - Office Politics (Part 1): Understanding The What, How, and Why to Navigate Workplace Dynamics Effectively

While many of us would rather avoid office politics or pretend it’s not necessary to understand them, the reality is that we can’t — and if you ignore them, you could end up left behind. So what does it take to build that political know-how that will help you get unstuck and thrive?

This is the first in a series of episodes that brings together a range of business leaders to share their perspectives and experiences from different roles, industries, and company structures. They offer insights that will help listeners build political competence in order to navigate office politics effectively.

In this episode, we get the lay of the land by exploring what office politics really means, the positive and negative sides of it all, and most importantly, what drives the political behavior at its core. Because being able to navigate politics efficiently starts with understanding the “why” behind human behavior.
