Michelle King, a workplace culture expert, talks about her new book, “How Work Works: The Subtle Science of Getting Ahead Without Losing Yourself.”
"Today we are less concerned with finding a path to the top of an organizational hierarchy and more concerned with finding the path to greater meaning in the workplace, and, by extension, life itself," she said.
Find ways to understand and manage the informal side of work, which includes your interactions with others. Find ways to build meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships.There’s an undercurrent in today’s workplace that makes people reluctant to embrace their jobs. What’s up? When it comes to career success, it's about: Have I made a contribution beyond just a job title or a paycheck? Often we don't think about it until it's too late. You get to the end of your career having chased one job after another and can feel unfulfilled.
That means spending time, investing, connecting, and building relationships with people who don't look like you and don't share your background. Roughly 70% of jobs come through the informal network.
The higher up in organization you go, the less self-aware people are. They overestimate their positive impact. There's a real disconnect with people not understanding how their actions can negatively impact somebody else's lived experience of work.
