Positive politics improve communication and collaboration, resulting in innovative networks that achieve the organizational mission and vision.\u003cbr\u003eWorkplace politics is manageable. Companies that have a culture of fairness, collaboration, ethical leadership, and SMART performance standards experience minimal dysfunctional politics and have more positive political capabilities that empower employees, managers, and leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calvine Odhiambo Odero Ihrm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798277034699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Calvine Odhiambo Odero Ihrm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997275697407,"sku":"9798277034699","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/office-politics-calvine-odhiambo-odero-ihrm-9798277034699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
