THE GOOD GUY'S AND GAL'S GUIDE TO OFFICE POLITICS
from an article by Michael Warshaw appearing in Fast Company Magazine Office politics refers to the personal relationships that develop at work. It's often viewed negatively, especially by those who aren't rewarded or promoted. The fact is that some people advance using factors unrelated to talent, knowledge, skills and ability. The issue often manifests itself as "Who you know", not "What you know". It doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Personality is important and some people connect better than others.
It's good management practice to reward and promote on merit, of course, but the human element can't be discounted. So, if you're trying to accomplish something for yourself, you have more of a chance to succeed if you adhere to these rules.
Rule #1. Nobody wins Unless Everybody Wins. It's about the team. "We did it", not "I did it".
Rule #2. Ask for Opinions-and Shape them. Go after the notoriously hard to please people and solicit their advice/opinion. Be sure to give credit even if you hardly use this advice.
Rule #3. EVERYONE EXPECTS TO BE PAID BACK. When a favor is done, acknowledge it. Keep track of it. Return the good turn. If there is no reciprocity,remind the person who owes you that you helped them. Be subtle and don't throw it in someone's face, but you can't do favors (or make concessions) without getting help back. Even when it's an unsaid or automatic consideration, people expect to
be paid back, often without having to ask.
Rule #4. Success Can Create Oppositions. Stop and look around. See any resentment? Is everyone you need still on board? Start sharing the credit.
Rule #5. Don't Ignore the Aftermath of Success. You have to maintain what you've built. Be sure resources are committed to that maintenance. Keep improving. Reach out to people who may not have been supportive and include them.
