Office Politics

Very amusing observations from three posts.

1. Office Politicos: A Field Guide

  • The MBA
  • The Maverick
  • The Art Chick/Band Guy
  • The Emeritus
  • The Sidekick
  • The Sponge
  • Den Mother / Cub Master
  • The Snake
  • The Class President
  • The Martyr

We all switch between these roles but god, it was so funny! :)

2. How to Win at Office Politics

  • Figure Out Why (and If) You Want to Play
  • Create Strong Relationships
  • Observe and Listen
  • Promote Yourself, Tactfully
  • Help Your Colleagues

Cant go wrong following those, nothing wrong with the advice at all. Hey, I should follow them, lol

3. Top Seven Workplace Plays and Maneuvers

Well, mostly American Football jargon, but you know what it means if you go to the site

  • The Hand Off
  • The Huddle
  • The Critical Inch
  • The Power Reverse
  • The Option
  • The Silent Strategy
  • The Chance Meeting

Some of them are debatable but what the heck!
