Leading Conversations, The Power of Positive Workplace Politics
Only you can find a job for yourself. An exceptionally qualified marketing manager working for a large financial institution sees change coming. The bank is going through another restructuring exercise. No doubt–jobs will be in jeopardy. Instead of turning the other cheek and working harder, waiting for the carnage to unfold, this manager decides to act, taking charge of her career–and her destiny.
You’ve found your dream job, but within six months your world turns upside down. The company restructures, leaving a trail of high level departures. Your boss leaves unexpectedly, HR informs you of further budget cuts aligned with the restructure, suggesting you reach out and connect with corporate headquarters.
We rarely think about our next next role until forced into making a choice – to stay or to move on. Last week an experienced finance executive received a redundancy package, not a bad one at all. But her knee-jerk reaction was, “I need a job.” Her impulse question followed, “know any good search firms that'll help me find something?”
Many of us start off a new year or new moon with the best of intentions: exercise more, save more, find a new start and job. Exercising and saving seem easy – the first step is the start – put one foot in front of the other, and getting into a regiment, whether physical or fiscal health.
Politics - rarely discussed, yet always needed - is a critical leadership skill. Jane Horan shares insights on understanding and accepting that politics can be a positive good, keeping values intact for career success by providing tips, techniques and stories.
