Summary of Marie G. McIntyre's Secrets to Winning at Office Politics

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Playing politics is like having sex. It’s something almost everyone does, but no one is comfortable discussing what they do. We typically use the term playing politics to describe our colleagues’ behavior, never our own.

#2 Every office is a playing field for the game of politics. And when you take a job, you’re automatically a player. To succeed, you not only have to do outstanding work, but you also have to deal with quirky bosses and annoying co-workers.

#3 To succeed in politics, you must be able to influence others. To do that, you must first clearly define your goals. Some have a natural aptitude for politics, and they are able to navigate the office politics process with ease.

#4 When thinking about your goals, consider these questions: Do you want to stay with your current organization or find a different place to work. Do you want to remain in the same field or consider a different occupation. Would you like a more comfortable relationship with your boss.
