Is Company Politics Strangling Your Business, and You With It?

Beverley Stone

Chapter 1 in Confronting Company Politics, 1997, pp 1-13 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The term ‘company politics’ refers to all the game-playing, snide, ‘them and us’, aggressive, sabotaging, negative, blaming, ‘win-lose’, withholding, non-cooperative behaviour that goes on in hundreds of interactions everyday in your organisation. Those who indulge in company politics do so in order to achieve their personal agenda at the expense of others in the organisation. In the process, they demoralise the motivated and sabotage the company’s success. Given their limited numbers, like one or two bad apples souring the whole barrel, they are disproportionately powerful.
