Politics in organisations is an ever present reality. No matter who you are, or what you do, it is impossible to escape the power/political interactions that take place between people at work. Men and women say they find the politics in organisations distasteful, sometimes downright stressful. Politics can, however, be quite motivating, stimulating and exhilarating.

High office achieved quickly requires negotiating skills, an ability to look ahead, the determination to make projects work and the ability to get on with people. Many people spend much of their time managing conflict, competition and the formation of alliances as an everyday part of their workload. There are frictions and difficulties that arise between top management, who are involved with strategic change, and middle management who are concerned with making the existing systems work.

• The more successful the repertoire, the more fixed it becomes the more people develop and form their personality.
