The Secret Language Nobody Teaches You About Work
Have you ever walked into a meeting and immediately sensed tension, even though everyone's smiling? Or watched a colleague effortlessly navigate office politics while you struggle to understand the unwritten rules? There's a Japanese concept called "Kuuki wo yomu"-reading the air-that captures this invisible skill. It's the ability to decode social subtext and unspoken dynamics, and it's become the most critical capability for workplace success. While 60% of jobs face automation threats and 40% of workers fear obsolescence, mastering these informal workplace systems matters more than ever. Drawing from two decades of organizational research, this exploration reveals the hidden architecture determining who thrives at work-and how anyone can learn to navigate it.
