So far, throughout our interview, we've focused a lot on how you help leaders drive, lead, and manage change within the teams and organizations. Many of our listeners might be change leaders or change managers in their own spaces or organizations. Yet, the other group of people listening might be experiencing changes themselves. They could be considering making a change.

or they may be forced to make a change because they've left their previous employer. You mentioned to me before that a situation often arises when people make a big career leap, sometimes wanting to escape workplace politics or ineffective boss. They might land a new job with similar terms, only to find themselves working for another ineffective boss.

The goal, the real goal, is to make a change for the better. But these people end up jumping from one lousy situation to another. I know you got some really good insights about that, about how people should try to manage the situation differently. Even if they eventually decide to change jobs, they could and they should aim for a truly better outcome.

Yes, absolutely. There's still so much to unpack. And not just when it comes to dealing with a boss, but also navigating office politics. These dynamics aren't just about one-on-one relationships. There are other players involved too. Interestingly, some people avoid using the term politics when discussing office environments.

In fact, if you search for office politics on Google or LinkedIn, you won't find as much conversation about it as you might expect. But in reality, whether you're in a large corporation or a small team, as long as you're working with people, there's an inherent level of politics at play. And these politics play a crucial role, especially when it comes to driving change.

You mentioned how some of your clients, including senior leaders, face power struggles or have to navigate complex stakeholder relationships. Power dynamics come into play, and as they think about leaving a job or dealing with ineffective boss, they also have to consider the bigger political picture they're in.

I feel like this is an element often overlooked in the discussion of change management and leadership. Could you share your thoughts or experiences in helping clients manage these risks? How do you support them in balancing personal and organizational change? while surviving navigating the politics that comes with it.
