7 Reasons Why You Should Keep Away From Office Politics
If there is something i detest
with all my heart is OFFICE
POLITICS.
There are always this colleagues
in the office that will do
everything possible to hold
others back.They are very good
talkers but poor performers and
are ready to sell out their body,
minds, intergrity to who so ever
can make décisions just to gain
recognition and added
advantages at the expense of
others.They are so toxic and will
drain life out of others.
And you would hear them justify
their actions, with statements
like "mehn. . . . A mam got to do what a man got to do to grow my dear". What nonsense!
Some employees turn to forget
that you don't have to play the
office politics game or engage in
any other form of corruption to
advance in your career.All that
matters is hardwork which has
never failed.
Here are 7 reasons why you
should keep away from office
politics;
1)It promotes managerial
incompetence.
When you play
office politics game,it actually
enables incompetent managers
to advance their own careers on
the backs of subordinates who
take on added burdens and
responsibilities as a means of
gaining favor with those
managers. Getting close to a
person in authority, regardless of
that person's ability, is seen as
more politically advantageous
than a candid assessment of his
performance.
2) It fosters divisiveness in the workplace.
Just be a true friend to
everyone, regardless of their
position.Cooperation and
collaboration will be far easier to
achieve.
3) It thwarts career advancement
based on merit.
Rather than
gaining promotions simply
because you have better
connections,why not spend more
time enhancing your
qualifications?Merit will always
win in the long run.
4) It tramples the ideal of doing
for others without expectation of
payback.
Our purpose is to add
value and not manipulate others.
5) It sees selfishness as a
necessary evil.
Don't send a message of hopeless
acquiescence to the destruction
of what we see as noble in our
lives.You're far better off doing
everything in your power to
avoid office politics at all costs.
6)It creates an environment in
which backbiting is acceptable.
Speaking ill of others behind
their backs is a destructive force
that undermines the spirit of
unity that's a prerequisite for a
healthy working environment.
7)Above all it makes you STUPID!
Office politics is a force of
disintegration that has to be
overcome if integration is to take
place, and that can only be
accomplished through
teamwork.
Great people need to work with
other great people.
