Power and politics. Vital and yet often elusive topics as we work to increase our influence and advance our careers. This ubiquitous yet often unspoken dimension of organizational life and culture is often swept under the carpet. But, it shouldn’t be. Importantly each of us needs to be aware of its implications and what they mean for us!
