Politics in every organization

The power struggle that exists in most companies or other organizations creates unnecessary mental stress among the people working in the organizations. The energy of the organization is also wasted and the necessary changes for the organization are hampered. It is not only in the political parties that the politics of power plays a negative role. It is more or less seen in other institutions as well. Creative destruction is required in every long term or old organization.

The bright side of politics in the organization

There are also some benefits to running politics in an organization. If those in power in the organization often protect and promote their own interests instead of promoting the interests of the organization then some groups of the organization challenge the authorities of the organization and try to throw away the old factionalism in order to protect or promote the interests of the organization. Mostly they fail. Because the authorities of the organization suppress them but sometimes the organization that has frozen their success becomes more fluid. This process also brings about necessary changes in the leadership of the organization and new leaders also formulate new policies and strategies for the organization. Ongoing stakeholders of the organization always present only one side of any question which is opposed by the well wishers of the organization. Sometimes it fails, sometimes it succeeds. Not all the struggles in the organization are viewed in a negative light but also on the positive side. In politics, opponents defeat the ruling party through elections. But managers in companies are not appointed by election.

Established interests

The whole process goes on secretly when the conscious organization, which is initially making new experiments, becomes a den of established interests. These established interests do not want change in the organization so there are welcome networks against the established interests in the organization. Everyone knows about the negative aspects of institutional politics but as mentioned above sometimes there are also positive aspects of cheap struggle.

How to gain power in the organization

The most important way to gain power in the organization is to get a high position (manager, general manager or CEO or chairman of the board) in the power structure of the organization. All members of Commons Success must acknowledge that the higher your position in the organization, the higher the direct authority of your organization than that of the Deputy Director and the authority of the CEO of the organization over the heads of the departments. Power in the organization depends on your position. The higher your position in the organization, the greater your power to encourage or punish those working below you. In English this is called 'position power'. Sometimes organizational managers also abuse this power. Whatever your position in the organization, you need expertise to sustain or promote it. The head of the organization should know that it will be very difficult to run the organization without you. Your indispensability to the organization gives you a lot of power in the organization. Thus, even if your skills are based not only on experience but also on your creativity, you are respected in the company as today's companies are becoming innovation-driven. The lucrative products of successful companies make huge profits but in the end new innovations in the market make the old products obsolete.

The skills of the person

Sometimes even your interpersonal skills give you authority in the organization. Interpersonal skills for networking type jobs give you an important place in the organization. If these skills are exceptional or you are proficient in negotiations against external organizations then you have more power in the organization than your counterparts. Until now, the Department of Human Resource Development (formerly the Personnel Department) has been a secondary player in companies. In the past, managers or employees of the company were pushed to its personal department, but now it is rare. In short, you get more organizational authority if you have the skills that are indispensable for the organization, but more importantly, how close or close you are to the authority of the organization.

Conflicts are everywhere

The fact that there is conflict in every company does not have perfect harmony in any organization. For example, the goals of the company's research and development department are long-term. This also poses a threat to some accounts. Not every conflict that arises in the organization needs to be viewed in a negative light. Institutions that are in perfect harmony become stagnant after a few years. Institutional conflicts are thus like fire. Agni can cook food and even burn down a house.
