About this Podcast

What’s your first reaction when you hear the words OFFICE POLITICS?

Do you dread it? Do you prefer to ignore it? Do you think it’s about being fake and inauthentic?

Or… do you embrace it as a way to influence others and be more effective?

If you said ‘YES’ to any of the first 3 questions then this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast is for you!

I vividly remember the many times when someone in my former job, reminded me to be more political.

I didn’t understand it fully until I was hit by a rejection of a proposal. I realized right then and there that I didn’t lobby enough in advance (actually… I didn’t lobby for it at all) and that I did not nurture the right relationships upfront to have people in that room who would have felt called to help shape and then advocate for my ideas.

I learned a lesson that day and it’s a lesson that now also comes up with my clients quite often.
