Hard Work & Talent Are Not Enough
In AWB’s recent Real Women, Real Talk session with Mrs. Habiba Balogun and professional women from different sectors, we discussed why hard work and talent are not enough to guarantee success at work.
Conversations centered around office politics, why women may have to engage in positive politics at work, how to avoid harmful office gossip, promote one’s self and ideas and work smart.
A heated debate arose around the role other women play in addressing the issues and contributing to the problem especially with the mention of women being horrible bosses and older women being threatened by younger women in the workplace.
With little time to explore deeply, we will dedicate one of our RWRT sessions to this topic.
