Politics is usually viewed as so odious a phenomenon that even professional politicians deride it. Nevertheless, it is vital to the functioning of society, as well as to progress in virtually every field.
What’s more, it’s not just elected officials who practice it. All of us do.
And with that in mind, in order to understand the office politics game and play it better, visit The Office Politics Playbook, at BNET. It offers an engaging and informative set of pieces on everything from political personalities to political maneuvering common to the workplace. It also includes an essay on how to keep office politics positive.
Politics, after all, is not only immensely difficult – it’s inescapable; you might as well learn to recognize it, and to guide its expression in productive ways. That, too, is an indispensable managerial skill.
Thanks are due to Robert May at BusinessPundit.com, who posted an item about BNET, recently, in which he listed his 10 favorite business guides available there. He’s right: it is indeed a useful and accessible resource that should be in every manager’s resource folder.
