How to Play Work Politics like a Pro
Episode description
In this episode of Talking Tuesday with Fancy Quant we discuss what are corporate politics, how to be aware of the political setting, and how to play corporate politics correctly. It's never fun when you get screwed by some political situation. One of the biggest pieces of advice on the political scene at a company is being aware of teams and biases. To be an ALL-STAR at the political game it is crucial to build trust with as many people as possible by being honest and telling the truth. Of course you will offend people or rub them the wrong way however by being honest you'll create stronger bonds with the majority of people. As we learned in "Build Social Capital" episode, building a reputation will go a long way. Also avoid being on any specific team, just focus on doing what is right. Now I know this sounds like easy advice however a lot of times you can get swept up in the craziness of the corporate world and down seems up and up seems down. Know yourself and keep you bearings straight!
