Do you know the difference between manipulation and influence?
Do you need to know how to play politics to get ahead?
Why does the idea of ‘politics’ give people the ick? 🤢
Love it or hate it, we need to understand it to be effective in the workplace.
That is…
Unless you’re lucky enough to work in an environment that is devoid of politics (it’s rare though). 😐
As consultants, we have no real choice as we go into clients environment, so not only do we have to deal with technical situations as well as the landscape of human politics.
We all know that projects fail, less because of technical reasons and more because of the ‘people’
Which is why it’s important to talk about this.
It’s actually the missing chapter in Dale Carnegie’s book of how we can “Win Friends and Influence People.” 😁
We deep dive into psychology of human behaviour which helps us to be more successful in our work, especially at #ZenClub – our Friday community I run with Piyusha Pilania.
Anyway – I hope we’ll see you on Tuesday at the other amazing community I co-lead with fellow #BadAssBA the inimitable Vanessa Grant ❤️

How lucky am I that I get to work with such outstanding human beings?! 🥰
See you then!
