Most people try to avoid office politics at all costs, seeing them as unpleasant, unfair, unethical and an unnecessary distraction from their ‘real work’. Most people describe it as ‘a game people play, that doesn’t feel fair because some people know the rules and others don’t, or ‘backstabbing’ or ‘climbing your way to the top’.
Lead with Humanity Associate, Niven Postma, offers a different perspective. She has written a book on how to navigate office politics effectively and ethically and without sacrificing your principles.
In this Self-Investment Session, Niven will bust some common myths around office politics. She shares some ideas on how to use politics and power games to advance your career, benefit your team and build the organisation you are part of, without compromising your morals and values.
