7 Strategies for Winning at Client Office Politics – CLS044

It’s the height of political campaign seasons here in the states, and what better time to dive into the world of business and client office politics.

I’m a firm believer in the old adage of keeping religion and politics out of business discussion.

BUT—business and office politics themselves are a different matter. Many of us would rather not deal or “play” politics at the office. And if you ask most organizations today, they’ll insist their companies “aren’t political.”

But the fact is, wherever you have people and multiple interests in the same place, you have politics. And as consultants, coaches, and service providers, we’re exposed to client politics if we spend any real time with them.

What’s more is we may even be awkwardly brought into the middle of political project or turf battles between competing projects and departments.

So today I’m sharing 7 Strategies for Winning Client Office Politics. This episode has been a long time in coming and I’m super pumped to share it with you.

Let’s dive in!
