The Bright Side of Office Politics – with Vince Mirabelli

In this episode, I sit down with keynote speaker, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and all around great guy Vince Mirabelli to unpack a topic most people avoid — organizational politics. Vince argues that politics, when done right, can actually be a force for good, helping teams navigate influence, alignment, and change.We dive into:Why every organization has politics (and how we can make that a good thing)How to deal with a boss who’s a “BJ” — the Brilliant JerkThe role of humor and self-awareness in building trust at workAnd of course… the age-old showdown: one bear-sized chicken or 100 chicken-sized bears?It’s a fast, funny, and thought-provoking conversation that’ll make you rethink what “playing politics” really means.🎧 Tune in, laugh a little, and maybe fry one of your own workplace chickens.LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincemirabelli/I tried to link to Vince on Linked In Learning but couldn't make it work.
