All of us want to excel in the workplace, and to advance our careers as much as possible. That’s all well and good when it comes to investing in professional development opportunities or showing team leadership competencies. It’s something else when it comes to playing office politics.
Simply put, office politics refers to any kind of behavior that individuals engage in to improve their status or personal agenda within the workplace. Office politics can include anything from alliance-forming to under-the-table negotiations, and it often erodes trust and morale across the entire team.Office politics can happen anywhere, even in onsite service companies.
