Office Politics! Surviving Office Politics in your Law Firm or Accountancy Firm

Office Politics! Surviving Office Politics in your Law Firm or Accountancy Firm

You can't escape your firm's politics. But you can learn to become politically savvy. Here's how.

In this episode of the How to Make Partner Podcast, I am exploring how to navigate the inevitable politics within your firm. This is not about being 'political' which can be a polite term for someone who lacks substance, but about becoming politically savvy to get things done with minimum noise.

Listen to this episode to discover:

How to identify the real movers and shakers in your firm, who may not always be the people with the most imposing job titles.

The importance of self-control, and why you need to weigh up each situation carefully before speaking your mind.

The risk of being part of the office grapevine
