1. Know Your Allies and Adversaries 🤗 Understand who brews the coffee and who stirs the pot. Building alliances can be your safety net. Remember, everyone has their own agenda.
2. Stay Informed 🧐 Be the person who knows a little about a lot. Information is power. Just don’t turn into the office gossip.
3. Choose Your Battles Wisely 🙃 Not every hill is worth dying on, especially if that hill is a powerful one. Save your energy for what truly matters.
4. Always Smile at Your Enemies 🤭 It confuses them. Remember, nothing scares your office nemesis more than seeing you cheerful on a Monday morning.
5. Document Everything 🤓 Keep emails, notes and documents organised. Your future self might need evidence… or a good laugh >.<
6. Promote Your Accomplishments 🤩 Subtly, like a ninja. Drop casual mentions of your successes in conversations. Think of it as guerrilla marketing for your career.
7. Be Proactive, Not Reactive 😁 Keep your strategy moving. If you’re always on your toes, it’s harder for them to trip you up.
Happy weekend, everybody. Before I go, I will leave you with this from Maya Angelou, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
