How to Survive Office Politics
How else can you manage your career? If you are looking to persevere and excel in the jungle that is the office, a positive attitude is essential.
You Need To…..
Understand that office politics is a given in every workplace. Living in denial, standing back from it all or sitting on the fence will only get you run over by colleagues.
 Concentrate on doing a good    job. Work at ensuring that the right people notice you so that you get the recognition you deserve.
Have a good sources of information. Be aware of what is going on around you.
Know who to influence, and not just those with titles. Remember, if you can influence key people, you can be just as instrumental as them too.
Adopt a little healthy cynicism. Make it a habit to question everything, even the motives of people with something attractive to offer.
Resist snap judgements.  Always take the time to thoroughly assess people.
Look after your peers or be seen doing so. It will help if others perceive you as someone who is nurturing.
Be a good communicator. Learn to speak and write well so you get your message across.
Acquire the patience of a  saint. Or at least the appearance of one!
Exercise enough  assertiveness without turning into a dictator.
Become an opportunist.  Be nimble: keep you eye on the prize and take advantage of it.
See the bigger picture.  Stand back and take a long, well-considered look.
Be ruthless, but only to a degree. Recognise that competition is not about eliminating the opposition.
