Ro Oranim shares her experience of politics in business. After her move from National Politics into Non-Governmental work, Ro decided to move into hi-tech. And she experienced, first hand, how the same friction takes place in each of these places. From the GO GO GO and machinations in the National government, to the fight over resources and values in business. we all engage in politics as we try to manifest our ideas and change ideational and value hierarchies. As Ro experienced, not everyone agrees on where the resources should go or what is of most import for the future of an organization, and you often have to fight to get what you think is necessary for your projects and programs to succeed.

As part of that, Ro explains how politics is always there in the background, as you try to pull the strings of power and get things to move in the direction you think is best.

You can watch or listen to the entire podcast episode, where Ro shares different perspectives on storytelling, her experience in national and work politics, and her personal experience with infertility and IVF in Israel, on Spotify and here on YouTube -
