The Challenge

In Hong Kong’s corporate world, career progression is often tied not only to performance but also to how well professionals navigate organisational politics. Many talented leaders stall because they dislike or avoid “politics,” failing to realise that influence is a necessary skill. Without it, others with less capability but more visibility step ahead. 

Considerations

Influence doesn’t mean manipulation; it’s about building trust and alignment. Leaders should consider: 

• Do I understand the power map? Knowing decision-makers and influencers is key. 

• Am I nurturing relationships before I need them? Influence is built in advance, not in crisis. 

• Do I frame ideas in others’ language? Tailoring communication to stakeholders’ priorities drives support. 

• Am I balancing authenticity with diplomacy? Influence grows when leaders stay true but strategic. 

• Do I manage conflict with grace? How you handle disagreement defines your reputation.
