As management professor and consultant Kathleen Reardon
explains in her new book, It''s All Politics, talent and hard work
alone will not get you to the top. What separates the winners from
the losers in corporate life is politics.
As Reardon explains, the most talented and accomplished employees
often take a backseat to their politically adept coworkers, losing
ground in the race to get ahead—sometimes even losing their jobs.
Why? Because they’ve failed to manage the important relationships
with the people who can best reward their creativity and
intelligence. To determine whether you need a crash course in
Office Politics 101, ask yourself the following questions:
? Do I get credit for my ideas?
? Do I know how to deal with a difficult colleague?
? Do I get the plum assignments?
? Do I have a mentor?
? Do I say no gracefully and pick my battles wisely?
? Am I in the loop?
Reardon has interviewed hundreds of employees, from successful
veterans to aspiring hopefuls, examining why some people who work
hard and effectively at their jobs fall behind, while those who are
adept at “reading the office tea leaves” forge ahead. Being
politically savvy doesn’t mean being unethical or devious. At
heart, it’s about listening to and relating to others, and making
choices that advance everyone’s goals. Like it or not, when it
comes to work, it’s all politics. And politics is all about knowing
what to say, when to say it, and who to say it to.
