[quote=Anonymous]I've been running into a few work issues lately and would appreciate advice.

I was raised to be very quiet and nonconfrontational and a little too tolerant of inappropriate behavior. This actually worked okay in my previous profession, but, as you can imagine, in my current profession where I'm in a leadership role, it's causing a few problems. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Most of my colleagues are great, but there's the standard amount of manipulation and power games that you find in other professions. I've been working on being more assertive, and drawing clearer boundaries, but I'm not good at dealing with power games and manipulations. Because of my upbringing and personality, I just don't have the same level of social intelligence in this area that my friends and colleagues have. They seem to instinctively understand what takes me a while to figure out. If there are any books or resources about office politics that have been helpful to DCUMers, would you post? Thank you.[/quote]
