How Do You Navigate Office Politics Without Getting Caught Up in the Drama?

Hello Professional HR & Business Veterans,

Please find attached a very inspiring whistle-blowing watchdog entrepreneurial lesson in ET on Office Affairs, i.e., Five Ways To Stay Away from Office Politics.

Dear Dilip, thanks so much, but I need to know and learn more about this. What if you want to stay away from office politics, and if office politics affects you even when you are not interested in it, how does one avoid it?

It is ideal that you stay away from politics, but if it affects your performance and reputation as an employee, how do you tackle that? Any articles on it, please forward them to me.

Regards,
Imran

It's nice and useful too. However, in today's office environment, there should be some more points added to it, e.g.

1. Know your position (what people think about you) in the office.
2. Know what happens around you and use it when required.
3. Sell your professional ideas and make sure that you get credit for them.
4. Don't lose heart at any time, no matter what comes your way.

I hope these additional points will be beneficial for you in navigating the office environment more effectively.

Best regards
