Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 265: Strategies for Handling Office Politics with Niven Postma
What’s your opinion on office politics? Perhaps you try to avoid them. Maybe you feel confident navigating them, or better yet, you say you can handle them when you have to but would prefer to avoid them altogether.
In this episode, I’m joined by Niven Postma, an advisor to global executive teams, lecturer, keynote speaker, and author. She’s joining me today to help you reframe your thoughts, opinions, and actions about office politics, why you should pay more attention to office politics, and how you can use them to benefit your teams and your professional advancement.
From her eye-opening experience of being fired from an executive role, Niven illustrates why political savvy is non-negotiable in today's workplace. Her book, "If You Don't Do Politics, Politics Will Do You," serves as a guide to navigating these often tricky waters with integrity and effectiveness.
This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
