How to Handle Office Politics (The Politics of Offices)

 

What makes an office environment toxic?

 

That is just one of the questions I had the opportunity to share my thoughts on with Amber Daines, host of The Politics of Everything podcast.

 

I love hosting and learning from my own guests on The Culture of Leadership podcast. I also love talking with others around the broad subjects of culture, leadership and teamwork. Unfortunately, how to handle office politics is a topic that too many people in the workplace have to think about.

 

A few other questions we covered during the interview were:

  • Can you succeed in your career without office politics playing a part?
  • Is there a way to set up an office, physically or culturally, so that teams can learn to trust each other faster, and are more productive and happier?
  • What is the new normal going to have to do better to make a remote workforce still appreciate an office?

 

To wrap it up, I was able to share some actionable advice for any leader, at any level of an organisation, how to reduce the chances of having to deal with office politics.
