A little while ago one of my private coaching clients was expressing his frustration about the political activity surrounding his work. This stimulated me to ask my connections about their views on this common feature of organisational life…
What’s your take on this, necessary evil or total waste of your time?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, here are just a few of the hundreds of responses I received:
Politics in Greek means of, for citizens. It is a phenomenon constructed by people, so managing politics has a lot to do with managing people. And time, frustration but also sense of achievement and engagement can result from it. As senior manager level, people need to learn to navigate and use politics at their advantage.
But, what do you think?
