The Great Politics

Fact of life in every workplace you must know what I am talking about, yes politics and it has left no one in the country then why has the office to left out from its vicious circle. To accomplish personal and business goals, you must learn to successfully play the political game in your organization.

Irrational behavior of an individual against his colleague to tarnish his image and spoil his reputation at the workplace refers to politics.

Employees are involved in politics to:

Gain attention and win appreciation from seniors.

Be in the limelight without working hard.

Save his job.

Earn respect at the workplace.

Achieve something beyond one’s control and power.

If you hate it stay out of it.

Concentrate on your own work rather than interfering in other’s business.

Try your level best to help your fellow workers whenever needed.

Be honest.

Don’t unnecessarily react to each and every thing at the workplace.

An individual playing politics might get instant recognition and fame but if he does not have the skills, he would soon be thrown out of the system.

It is always advisable to keep your boss in the loop in all kinds of communication. Let your superiors know what you are up to.

Don’t manipulate any data. The information must be passed on in its desired form. Don’t play with words.

Never ever open anybody else’s confidential documents or check his e mails in his absence. Such things are considered strictly unprofessional.

Never take sides at the workplace. Promote open communication at the workplace.

One should learn to keep a control on his tongue. Be nice to everyone. Avoid using derogatory sentences against any of your fellow workers.

Don’t spread rumors against anyone at the workplace. It is always better to discuss things face to face rather than backbiting. Avoid criticizing others. Try to look at the positive aspects of life.

Set a goal for yourself and stay focused. Don’t let others influence you and affect your performance.

Nice article. got to knw what politics is in an organisation. I would like to share with you politics played in our institute

1. Asking for report without intimating well in advance and blaming for not submitting it in time.
2. without providing sufficient knowledge handing over responsibilities to others and blaming for not properly done.

Most important thing i experienced is people with high aged have ego within themselves & it breaks off when a youngster asks for some work to get done within a specified time limit. (I Experienced it many times)
