TrainingBriefs® Understanding Office Politics

Office politics are real! If you work in a professional environment and think you can avoid politics, you’re not being honest with yourself or others. You may not be able to change the entire culture of your organization…but you can impact how YOU deal with office politics – proactively and intelligently.

Engaging in office politics doesn’t mean you must become mean-spirited. It doesn’t mean that you have to begin stabbing people in the back for your own gains. You have a choice of how you’ll behave when it comes to the political game.
