• We often think of office politics as bad, but there is also positive office politics—where leaders use their influence positively, make meaningful relationships, and drive for productivity and positive change to benefit everyone.
• Recognize the formal and informal dynamics within your workplace. Identify key influencers and decision-makers to navigate the environment effectively depending on who the power holders are.
• Not every skirmish is worth your engaging in. Focus your political capital on those things that matter most to your career, your health, and your finances. Not everything will measure up to something that matters.
