Navigate Office Politics Without The Drama: The Professional's Way

[@BeautifulDreamerK]

This is what I’ve learned- the moment there is an opportunity to do a project, take it ASAP and start on it. This way it becomes YOUR PROJECT and whoever signed up before to be a part of it, can’t claim anything since you already did all the work. Also, don’t be too good at your job. Your boss will never let you go. Also, if your job is to (for example), bring the cows home, half ass do it and focus on the opportunities and projects that come. Those are first priority. The people who bring the cows home day in and day out won’t grow or go anywhere, unfortunately. Agree with the org chart- know where you stand with people and network with everyone as much as you can. Engaging/building your relationships has a direct effect on your work

Huge facts! I sign up and start working as soon as possible on it, then I make sure my team lead sees my work. In the scrum calls the team lead will begin to address me and hold me responsible for the work. Now everyone knows you're leading there. Stay Focused!

[@azndoodle1]

This is the most stressful part at work.

[@AlejandroRamos-kn5cd]

Yup exactly

[@Ella-qg4bq]

I completely agree 😊 I think that this whole society is not healthy so it leads unhealthy people to take over while creating more drama. We live in SJ type world ; MBTI gives a big insight of individual behaviors. In general, sensory people can not see a big pic and form strategies ; they are good at laying out the procedure and instruction though but follow the rules and policy as far as their jobs are secured vs intuitives love to challenge and take risks in order to keep growing This sick society is not ready for sure. Isxj more likely fall into kruger dunning effect Isfj has a tendency of convert narcissists Two types are a major big role to create toxic environment Pls go and check You will see it😅

[@halmerkar]

I love that you talk about this hidden powers in many organisations.

Im in the lowest part of the hierarchy, that being said, a seasoned employee told me to approach the workplace as a game. Why? So it'll be easier to navigate and not to take things personal. I must say works like a charm👍

[@estherboo3057]

What has helped me in the workplace is my ability to adapt to the ever changing business and political landscapes. I don't compromise my core values either.

[@Ad-Lo]

Your insight is refreshing and original. You deal with the reality of the corporate world, not just theory! Thank you!

[@y_m_2025]

Hi Grace. Gained an insight regarding office politics and feel comfort listening to you as to why people behave the way they behave. I have been humble and supportive to newcomers but it seems being too nice at work doesn't help. Will get in touch with you soon.

I am really struggling in my workplace so I reached here

Baby girl... we all are 😢

[@It_is_common_sense]

If you try to be everything to everyone then you are nothing to anyone. This is because people need to know what they are dealing with. If I work for one manager who is speaking to me and being careful with their language and another who is authentic even if I don’t agree with them, I prefer the latter.

[@dmoral1]

I 100% agree with these methods and examples. This Dr. Gracie Lee is on point with all the challenges I have come across in my white collar professional field. Definitely want this service, hoping my employer will reimburse me for these services.

[@wpkoh1967]

Grace, thanks for the good details of this topic most company ended up failed when there is too much politic. The issue i am seeing is lot of this toxic survived thus how to dealing with this kind of situation is really matters.

[@ericchips9314]

The corporate world is like Chinese Go, a game of complex strategy and shifting alliances. To _begin_ navigating it successfully, read Sun Tzu's _The Art of War_ and listen to Dr. Grace Lee's insights. One day, you may be the one with the power to develop a system that significantly reduces workplace toxicity.

Wow that hidden org chart is real. Is this healthy? I would love to learn more about this. (I think I was so naive to just look at the formal org chart and getting frustrated at the hidden org chart and how that was negatively impacting my work and my team)

[@MKrealife]

How do you develop a relationship with a co-worker who is extremely prideful and was defensive and built a wall from day one against you and constantly create obstacles and traps? Ive tried shrinking to show her I mean no harm, but I get zero momentum.

[@naushadhasan8767]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for your insight.

[@DarkechaExum-x5c]

Confuse the enemy ✔️

[@doncastillo2818]

Hi been watching your videos so much inspiration. And i just want to ask what to do if you find your coworker is jealous about you in the work place?

[@HAIYIZHU-qu5kt]

Me too. I want to know as well

[@vandread3555]

Jealous, or envious? Huge difference. In either case, make sure you cover your as*. Cross your t's and dot your i's, because people like that tend to just watch you like a hawk and jot down everything you're doing in order to try and get you in trouble. Took lunch for 1 minute too long and this person took notice about it? A higher up is shortly going to talk to you about punctuality. At least that's been my experience. People like that are a cancer to workspace. All you can do is distance yourself from it.

[@anujbhardwaj5753]

Great video 🎉

[@helco2856]

Sometimes people just act weird for no reason. Even if you keep to yourself and stay quiet, people will always have something to say. I'm going based on my experience.

[@BilionaireBoysSwag]

The reason why work politics is so stressful is that you can not please everyone, and there is no written rulebook in how to go about it because every workplace is different.

[@kiyaranight]

This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@zurielsss]

I wish I had knew your videos 10 years ago.

[@dazzlingdexter5060]
