In today’s episode, I chat with Niven Postma. She is an author, lecturer, and consultant in two key areas; strategy power and working in teams and groups, hosting workshops that seek to educate people about office politics. There is a popular line that says “I don’t do office politics. In all honesty, office politics will do you if you don’t do it. Viven says you need to acknowledge and understand what office politics are in order to be able to navigate your way through your career. In this episode, Niven gives us the definition of office politics and what it looks like, demystifies the myths, and shares how people must develop a mindset shift around the subject. She shares why people usually associate office politics with something that is unethical, the bias around it, and gives insights into how you can use office politics to your advantage.
