Why are you seeing politics everywhere in your workplace?

Where there are people, there are politics

Politics cut across all cultures, all communities, all industries, all workplaces, all departments, all teams, and all jobs in all countries

Workplace politics is not optional, you can’t just sit out

Politics are the differences between you and the people you work with. These differences can be in knowledge, skills, opinions, personalities, perspectives, authority, power, influence, and more

Politics are about the strength of your relationships

Positive relationships create positive workplace cultures. Smart decisions are made effectively, there is pride in the valuable work that is produced, you deliver exceptional customer and patient experiences, and you and the people around you outperform in life and at work

Negative relationships create toxic workplace cultures. Tension from unresolved conflicts fester, slow or no decisions are the norm, stress from an excessive workload is real, your customer complaints rise, patient safety becomes a concern, and work becomes life for you and those around you
