Office politics

[serendipity]

How can one be good in it? Or perhaps the better question, how can one play it well??

[Vaucluse]

By staying out of it.

By staying out of it.

and not hanging around the water coolers too long.

my office tip - always walk around with a bit of paper in your hand.

Even if you are going to the loo it looks like you are busy

Office politics .. i guess it is not fun!!?!?
So yes.. avoid it..
But if cannot avoid it.. join the crowd and excel in it.. is that you meant Serendipity?

I think perhaps it is the people u know is important..
WHO you know .. not WHAT you know....
Network, connection is important in our daily life..
That is what i feel.

Buy a book called "The Rules of Work" by a guy caqlled Templar.

(He also has the "The Rules of Management" and "The Rules of Life", the latter which I am currently reading)

BTW just broke the first rule by telling you all about it...

Basically the best thing to do about office politics is to stay informed but stay out of it. In Singapore ofice and project politics can shift so quickly that it can really effect your career and it cannot be ignored or brushed away lightly.
