Office politics

This is one of the most frequently read workout descriptions and one of the least frequently run workouts.

Perhaps this is because the people who are drawn to this page happen to work in one of those rare organisations that are without politics (so rare, in fact, that no-one at The Mind Gym has ever had first hand experience of one). Or perhaps the negative associations with office politics dissuade all but the most courageous managers from admitting that it is something that exists on their patch.

This is a pity. Not only is politics a normal and natural phenomenon but learning how to manage it is a critical skill that anyone who wants to succeed in office life needs to acquire.

The challenge is to make the politics work for you. And, assuming your motives are honourable, your new political skills will benefit your colleagues and the organisation you work for as well. Politically correct in every sense.
