Office Politics – Play or Get Played?

You can hate office politics, but you can’t ignore them. Like it or not, every workplace has power dynamics. The trick? Play smart without losing your integrity.

Here’s how to navigate office politics wisely:

🎯 Observe before you act – Understand the key players, alliances, and decision-makers. 🎯 Build allies, not enemies – Support your colleagues and be diplomatic, even when you disagree. 🎯 Stay out of unnecessary drama – Not every battle is worth fighting. Choose wisely. 🎯 Let your work do the talking – Consistency builds credibility. Gossip fades, but reputation lasts.

Being politically aware doesn’t mean being manipulative—it means knowing the game and making it work for you.
