How to Win at Office Politics and Keep your Integrity

Are office politics holding you back from achieving your full potential as an engineering leader?

In this episode, I dive into the often dreaded topic of office politics and why they are crucial to your career growth as an engineering leader.

I share real-life examples, like my conversation with Matthew, a senior manager who felt stuck and frustrated by the politics in his company. But here's the catch — it's not the politics that hold you back, it's your mindset toward them.

Together, we'll explore how to shift your perspective, step into the political arena with integrity, and build influence, one person at a time. Plus, I give you practical tips, including how asking the right questions can change everything.

So press play and let’s chat… It’s time to turn office politics into your secret weapon for career success.
