3 Top Key Ideas (66 total)
Social Astuteness
Aim to become something of a “corporate anthropologist,” observing the relationships between co-workers and superiors and paying attention to informal social networks.
By observing the communication and relationships that surround you at work, you might discover that instead of hiding when the team gets competitive, you would do better to hang in there, go toe-to-toe with them, and ultimately earn their respect.
The Ally Echo-Chamber
You know your allies, as you've likely been venting to them. But they are red herrings that may be making things worse.
- Venting to them reduces the symptoms without addressing the core problem.
- By venting to them, they can allow a distorted truth when they allow you to focus on your version only instead of the full facts.
Don't give in to this distraction.
Don't Pretend to Be Above Office Politics
You work with a variety of people and you won't always get along with everyone. Telling yourself, "I don't engage in office politics, I tell it like it is," is a flawed tactic that might just cause more trouble.
When you stick your foot in your mouth, all you can do is apologize and explain it was a genuine mistake.
