Which strategy have you used to navigate workplace politics in the past?

[Melinamiu]

Out of all people the receptionist is the one with the most influence. She talks with everyone and riles people up.

[rickicherry]

As someone who has spent over 4 years in HR, office politics still feels unethical to me. I always feel like we should all be on the same team. It’s tough as my department has shrunk from a team to only one person, so I am most often operating at a place of deficit in both support and resources. Office politics feel hard to play when you have little to give other parties and larger departments.

[PurplePinkRed]

I agree! Whether we like it or not, politics are there and have to be played. I denied that for years. Yes, having a clear goal at work is a great thing too! 👏

Politics--- an 8 letter word--Politics is present in all walks of life-- and the world is not fair. I never played, and it hurt me .I hate it, but sometimes it is a necessary evil. Monopoly is great ! Need the vision

I'm a mid 20s person and it takes me time to go through your videos. It's like pomegranate juice - drink slow it's okay, drink in one go and you're k.o

[marksummers]

Another GREAT resource on the topic is a piece titled The Hatchet Man's Playbook - a LOT of eye-popping, non-obvious stuff! Can't recommend it highly enough!

[nocturnalsage]

Thanks for this video. May favorite part is your statement on not having to compromise one's values in order to play politics. To share, I simply remain diplomatic towards everyone I work with. Yes, that includes people who seem to hinder my career success. I have been working for almost 8 years now, and I could say that it has helped me navigate the politics. As a middle manager, I think your tips already confirm what I have always been doing. Ironic though as I tell others that I'm not political but I am very keen when it comes to power struggles in my daily interactions.

Staying neutral at the moment between 4 power players! The most junior boss, that I do no work for, complained to her manager that a particular client was hers and not my bosses. Her manager knocked my boss out of the picture. Junior boss and her manager do not give me work (problematic as I now have no work) and does not want me to develop the client relationship. A major boss from a different department wants me to develop the relationship and introduced me to the client and had me work with them for the past 6 months. I'm in no mans land at the moment and I literally have no work now ....for the past 2 weeks, I have had no work assignments/tasks.

[lavenderrivers]

Any help for those of us who genuinely don't enjoy games? I'm really having a hard time navigating this and it's killing my career. I'm just not a playful person and tend to be too serious

[cynthiakk]

I did not want to play office politics till I were by workplace bully by one group of junkie. It forced me to begin play with it according to my value, begin to find of advocate to support...

[focusedallday]

The big question is, how do you know office politics are happening to you?? Stay Focused!

[pinkpinkpink]

Avoid politics at work. It can be a big deal
