Fire the politician from your team

Throughout my career, which started from my university campus, I had to deal with office politics. As new and young employee, I had no way of escaping office politics and office gossips. As a young employee, I always kept to myself and my work; I have never really paid attention to office politics. Working while studying at a large and reputable university, I always thought we will be taught valuable work ethics that will guide us as after we graduate and get the real job.

My first encounter with office politics was at my university job, I ended up losing my job because one of the full time workers thought I would outsmart her and since she was an old timer there, she talked the department manager into let ting me go.

One management tip that I have learned in dealing with office politics is: don’t let office politics make you lose your brightest and greatest employees. You must spot the trend of office politics at your firm and stop at as soon as you see it. Great projects failed to see the lights because of office politics.
This is small, but powerful advice, fire the politician from your team…..Thanks
