Reason #7 of the 8-part series on the reasons why you may be stuck in your career is Not Ready for the Political Sharks!
Workplace politics is all about is knowing who the key stakeholders are, how things get done, whether it's through relationships or through hierarchy.
Every company has its own workplace politics. And then there are those people who decide that they're going to take workplace politics to another level.
You need to learn how to navigate the waters and stand strong.
