How many of you have heard positive political expression? This is the opposite negative politics and I think you can see a change in the political position and behavior as their transfer to the highest levels in almost any organization.
As you climb the corporate ladder, or any organizational ladder, you'll find that people who are higher in the upper rarely engaged in what I consider to be negative politicking. Negative politics is that the manifesto "backstabbing" occurs. That's where people drop hints about the shortcomings of people or errors. That's where people in the meetings of other places, without notice. People who have no experience in the dynamics of the organization have not yet learned the risk of gossip in the queue, or talking to someone. They mistakenly believe that by eliminating the race to the bottom, will rise. Oh, how true.
The people who get up have learned the ability to promote a positive manner. In other words, there are things wrong with most people. That's what people at lower levels of organizations do. Instead, work together and do positive things for other people who deserve it.
What I am talking about is the positive politics. You can recognize it when you see it. For example, a group of people who are working together, a valuable project is available. And suddenly, one of those people is given the project by another person who has ever worked. This project is not only visible reward for excellent previous work, may be the result of partnerships built with the group leader.
This is a reality in America of the organization, whether corporate or not. What we get in position to do so is to grant that kind of positive visibility with others, and ultimately be the beneficiary of it too.
We want to position to make available opportunities for positive people within our organizations. We do this regularly. We want to hand things instead of keeping it selfishly for ourselves. These things come back tenfold classes to people who do.
This strategy not only project-based, can be as simple as filling out a job well done to senior executives. Behaviors sincere, selfless and altruistic are noticed, and rewarded the most times.
Rarely forget the time they were uncomfortable and embarrassed cornered in an environment of the organization. Playing a long-term resistance to help that person. The opposite is true. I'm sure each of you can think of a time someone did something positive for yourself and your career and how grateful she was. And from that moment, if that person asks you to do anything, you will do for them. Well, this is how politics works good. And that's how we create our own fate in our organizational structures.
Therefore, the negative politicking, we do not betray people for the things we've done wrong. That actually makes the behavior of the "rat" look even worse than "the victim". That the behavior that occurs with people at the lower end of their organizations.
What we do is to do positive things for others. And this is how we can promote the objectives of the organization, and hopefully find it for ourselves. Because most of the good deeds are returned.
