Managing Office Politics
Managing Office Politics Training courses help ease office tensions. Cliques emerge in many organisations where bonds are built with shared belief systems. When this arises, you get groups of people fighting with other groups of people at the detriment of your organisation. This inhouse Managing Office Politics Training course helps reset the organisation’s expectations for your workforce.
In Australian politics you’ll see the parties have factions. There’s vested interests. Imagine if every political party only had the best interests of the country at heart. That’s not having a go at any political party. That’s pretty much every democratic party in the world.
As Shakespeare said (Sonnet 60) : Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end;
It’s the same with office politics. It’s going to be there. And you need to find ways to curb the damage.
If you don’t see any politics in your office then maybe you are not looking hard enough. Once you have as little as three people, you are likely to have politics. People in the workplace jostle for a variety of perceived benefits and resources such as ego, promotion, status, image, and even desks and offices! Office politics is not necessarily a hindrance, indeed managed properly it can boost the effectiveness of the organisation by harnessing the energy and using it to drive performance and even morale.
