Avoiding playing it dirty is not only possible, it is easy – when you know how.
Most people naively believe that if you want to get on, you have to play the politics, and beat others at their own game.
It certainly looks that way doesn’t it!
The way many senior teams fight, intimidate, bully. Doing whatever it takes to win.
Yet there are also a great many people in senior teams who are doing it differently. They have learned how to handle the politics without playing it dirty.
More importantly, they have learned how to survive those who play it dirty, to win despite their Machiavelli’s best endeavours.
The choice is yours.
Who will you emulate?
How will you play it?
Entirely up to you, your conscience and your long-term relationships.
