Description
Episode 72 of The Office Politics Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore the art of building a trusted inner circle at work without alienating colleagues. They break down the 'tight five' concept from corporate anthropology, explain why the CEO's 'kitchen cabinet' can backfire, and share a practical three-step framework for rotating proximity while keeping deep alliances. Using examples from a real-world tech company restructuring and a Fortune 500 leadership transition, they show how to maintain influence without being seen as cliquish. The episode also includes a brief moment on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. Tune in for actionable advice on navigating workplace dynamics with integrity.
