Managing Office Politics

Maybe you have learned how to protect yourself in the office, but not everyone has such a good ability.

There are always people injured in office politics every day.

Some time ago, a friend of mine was lucky enough to get an interview opportunity of a well-known company. But because of his behavior and performance, the direct supervisor of the position was given up a vigilance and lost a rare opportunity.

Coincidentally, another friend of mine was involved in the vortex of office politics because of his confusion. He retired from a famous enterprise's important management position a few months ago.

The tiger falls plains are bullied by dogs.

He hasn't found a good job till now.

This has to cause me to talk about how to control office politics.

First of all, I want to talk to you about how job seekers control office politics.

The interview is not a battle of strength, but rather a psychological battle.

Especially when interviewing your examiner is a direct supervisor or a colleague at the same level.

In general, they will worry about the influence of new people on their position after entering the company.

They usually do not act like an indirect boss or a business owner to recruit talented people.

They tend to be more likely to be recruited than those who are competent for their jobs.

In front of them, you may not have to show the strength of "killing one cow with one blow".

If you really do this, chances are that you will miss the opportunity.

If there is a factional struggle between them, the first thing they think about when recruiting people is not whether you can be well qualified for the job, but whether you can firmly safeguard the interests of their faction after entering the company.

If you can get rid of their vigilance in this interview, you will greatly improve your chances of winning.

Please do not hesitate to leave the scene immediately after the interview.

Even if you need to go to the bathroom, you suggest going somewhere else.

Let alone any other specific behavior.

If you are lucky enough to receive a favor from a leader of the company, you'd better visit him secretly or visit again sometime.

Never let them see or know.

Otherwise, they may cause "uneasiness" or "misunderstanding" in their minds.

This way, even if you originally performed very well in front of them, you might lose a rare opportunity in life.

The friend lost his chance to enter the company because he made such a mistake.

Really, let him feel sorry for him.

Next, I want to talk to you about how a company's staff controls office politics.

In order to control office politics, first of all, we must admit that politics exists in offices, where there is politics in some places. Secondly, we need to accept it in a positive way and believe that it can be conquered by us.

Though office politics is always associated with conspiracy, hypocrisy, treachery, rumor, contention and struggle, but since it is a reality, we must face it with a positive attitude.

Rather than taking an evasive attitude.

Escape is no doubt negative. It does not change because of your escape, nor does it disappear because of your evasion. Evasion will only make you unable to recognize the situation, unable to assess the situation, lose the opportunity, or even be confused. It may lead to a bad influence on your career prospects, or even destroy it.

If you choose to accept it, treat it in another way, it will not disappear. You may not be able to change them.

But at least when you stay in the office, your mood will be more comfortable or unexpected good results.

Because not everyone has the ability to observe and judge the situation and control office politics.

A positive attitude towards office politics may also serve you, making it a tool for your career survival and promotion.

But as professionals, in order to manage office politics well, we must at least abide by the following "heaven".

I only play games that are being played, not those games that I want to play.

Two, don't make enemies. Don't offend the villain.

Three, be willing to dress your boss for your boss.

Since he is your boss, even if his abilities are not as good as yours, you must be willing to serve him.

Do not coerce him. Don't think you can climb up to him one day and keep him under control.

Finally, I would like to talk with you about how the new senior executive controls office politics.

First of all, please stabilize your predecessor's subordinates, and do not have the idea of "a courtier of the emperor."

As a new executive, it takes the place of a person instead of the whole company. The work requires the active cooperation of former subordinates. How to treat them is related to your future work.

Even if you decide not to use him later, you also need time to arrange for deployment.

Two, the best way to deal with information is to be skeptical.

Do not believe, do not believe in all things; do not believe in others.

Important rights should be gradually extended to two or more subordinate subordinates.

In particular, recruitment, customer relationship maintenance and other important rights should not be monopolize by a subordinate.

Even if he used to be your good friend, he should not be mastered by himself.

Otherwise, he may try to replace you when you are in office.

Many people, in order to ascend the throne early, will not kill their father, brother or wife.

Not to mention a colleague who has no blood relationship.

It's better to be on the defensive.

Three, "three fires" should not be burned too fast.

All new policies must be grasped at the right time. First, we should do well in the momentum work and get the support of the real power figures.

The government's implementation of the new policy calls for consensus thinking.

When a new leader arrives at a new company, he first needs to understand the operation mode of the new company, and also needs to know the role of each subordinate in the company.

Most companies will have some real power figures. They may be the meritorious ministers who have made significant contributions to the company, or they all have three points of old qualifications or a backstage supporter, which plays a decisive role in the company.

Offend them, they may create trouble for you everywhere, and even start a staff uprising in the implementation of the new deal.

In short, though office politics is always entangled with fame and fortune, you should not be afraid.

Water can also overturn boats.

There is no way for a gentleman to turn into harm and good.

I hope you can control office politics and make fewer detours in your workplace.
