Politics

A couple of days ago I was asked to take a new position within in the organization. Upon review the leaders realized what I said in the beginning that it would be hard on my team. The decision to move a person in leadership has to make sense not only for the individual but for the entire team.

This comes down to corporate politics. A successful company can minimize the politics that take place in an organization. However the more layers that a company has the more challenging it becomes to manage the internal politics. Therefore company's should try to run lean create an environment that is open to giving people opportunity and holding them accountable.

When politics take place no one wins...well maybe the one who talks the biggest game might win, but what are their results??
