Recently I sat down with Jennifer McClure on The Impact Makers Podcast where we had a conversation about the importance of power, influence, and politics in the corporate world. It was a stimulating conversation and we especially dove into the importance of understanding how to not only survive politics, but thrive with politics.
Some of my favourite parts of the episode are:
-
Focus on the future, but not at the expense of the present. One of my big beefs with a lot of contemporary leadership development is that it often is quite out of touch with people’s daily reality. When it comes to achieving your goals, mastering the day-to-day is an essential part of building long-term influence.
-
What does it mean to be influential? How are influence, politics, and power related in the workplace? How do you build relationships that are trusting, that enable you to understand others and work towards common goals? And most importantly, how do you convince others that your goal is worth pursuing? We discuss the answers to these questions — and more! — in detail in the episode.
