Walk a Tightrope to Survive Office Politics

Walk a Tightrope to Survive Office Politics

Page - 2 Don't Criticize Others If you are not happy with the performance of your subordinates, make sure that you discuss it with the person in private or in an official manner meticulously. Avoid ticking off a person in public, as it might become a hot topic of gossip and you might become the center of a spicy and negative discussion.   Believe in Yourself If you are a target of gossip; believe in yourself and your abilities. Things will die down on their own. Talk to people who have a problem with you and have an open discussion. Avoid acting superior to colleagues who are on the same hierarchical level. Don't think of quitting; it's the same everywhere. Always remember: quit only when you want to, not because you have to. Cheers!!! Concluded.
