Politics in the Workplace: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

FountainBlue's August 10 When She Speaks, Women in Leadership Series event, on the topic of Politics in the Workplace: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Below are notes from the conversation. We were fortunate to have a range of perspectives on the panel, representing women who have moved from small companies to large, those who have remained at the same company, those who have stayed in one area, and those who have shifted from one to another. The panelists agreed that politics was everywhere, a fact of life. It’s about relationships, about communicating and working with people, about power and influence, and getting access to the people who wield it. It’s about getting alignment between people to make things happen for a shared cause, and also getting that it can’t always be done in the current company, with the current people. It’s about always knowing your values, your skills and your passions, and always delivering your best to yourself, your team, your company, and engaging with others to move things forward.
