Women and men think differently about many things, but office politics is one area where the difference is vast. Women will try to run from office politics as they equate it with cattiness and gossip; men will more readily speak up and view it for what it is: a way to achieve your goals by establishing networks, building relationships, seeking input, and asking people to take action when needed.
As a leader, to play politics successfully, you have to accept that playing politics and working your network is your job. Your political skills are your tools. These skills, these tools, allow you to do your job.
Learn to use the power of office politics effectively — and for good — and you’ll be a leader others want to follow.
Stop doing what unsuccessful people do and start doing what effective leaders KNOW and DO!
