There's politics in every organization, especially the organizations that like to say we don't have any politics. To me, one of the ways to sort of help you navigate politics is always start by understanding what is the other person's scoreboard. And I would also say about networking. The most effective way to do it is not just, hey, can we have a coffee or you want to grab a drink or something? That's sort of like there's 20 people over there just go mingle during drinks before a conferenceThat makes me really uncomfortable and I'm not good at it.
