Corporate Politics

Office Politicking are facts of life and is a reality in any organizational compounds. Some principles to remember :
1) Realize office politics no laughing matter: this will ensure we will watch ourselves from stepping inadvertently into other peoples territory..
2)A fight may not be for the best: ask ourselves 3 Qs: What are our chances of Winning..If we win wat do we get...is what we get worth the fight..
3)Make Friends..this is where coalitions in the office have been found to be a useful mean of resolving conflicts contributing to team building and getting things done
4)Gathering Information..get to know what is going on around you so that in your prepared state.you are more alert and capable of dealing with awkward situations.
All of the above simply points to the principle of "breaking enemy's resistance without actually fighting."We should also wise to unfair tactics like scheming,corrupting,disgraced morals and behaviours,ir gambling women alcohol,drugs etc.
Bosses play an important role here because failing to lead and manage will cause other employees to be distressed,disobedient,those majority having lost respect for the management,inclined to leave and destroy the organization.

It is essential then for bosses to display the 5 virtues..wisdom,sincerity,benovolence,courage and strictness..under most fundamental factor..COMMAND! Salam.
