7 WAYS LEADERS CAN MINIMIZE OFFICE POLITICS

  Today’s modern fast-paced working environment can be hampered quite easily if employees engage in gossip and office politics. Corporate politics is a common phenomenon, and it happens in every workplace worldwide. After all, we are humans. Being political savvy is in our nature.
