章节摘录

　　You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting a-head, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P for politics, as in office politics.　　As Dale Carnegie suggested much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesntmake career advance. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publiclyand behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of being good at office politics——abetter job, a raise, praise——many people are still unable or unwilling to play the game.　　Some people feel that office politics means some manipulative behavior,says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. Butpolitics comes from the word "polite". It can mean being kind and helpful, or even tryingto please your boss, and then expecting something in return.　　In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to gain ones owninterest in the workplace. In many cases, this includes some form of socializing within theoffice environment——not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.　　The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a con-sistent basis, says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if two or three peopleare up for a promotion, each of whom has similar ability, a manager is going to promotethe person he or she likes best. Its simple human nature.　　Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have troub　　e with the politicsin the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes tosucceed. Still others mistake politics for flattery and are fearful that if they speak upfor themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favor.　　Experts suggest changing this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
