Today, we\u2019re talking about what\u2019s become a polarizing and almost dirty word: Politics.\xa0\nBut I\u2019m not interested in debating election results or partisan policies. I want to discuss another kind of politics, one that gets less press\u2026\xa0 micropolitics.\xa0\nMicropolitics (also known as office politics) are the tactics we use every day to influence and manipulate a context to suit our needs. It might sound nefarious, but it\u2019s completely human and often necessary to use these strategies when attempting to create change.\xa0\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll break down the nuance between good and bad office politics and then offer an approach for identifying, navigating, and using them to your advantage.\nAfter all, it's not the tool, it's how you wield it.\xa0\nIf you\u2019re interested in working on your ability to influence the people you lead, or if you\u2019re struggling to navigate the politics of your work environment, we\u2019d love to help. We now offer 1 on 1 communication training.
