But office politics isn’t just about one-upmanship or ambition. At its core, it’s a very human process: how people build trust, navigate competition, and influence decisions in the workplace. In this episode, we break down the ‘unwritten’ dynamics of office politics - why they exist, how they affect your daily work life, and what you can do to navigate them without compromising your values. We explore: •        The types of influence and power at work that you can leverage for yourself •        Why office politics feels inevitable •        How to recognise unspoken rules and social dynamics •        Advice on office gossip •        The 5 things you should be doing at work to get ahead (ethically) If you want to go into the office with less dread and more clarity, this episode is for you.
