WHY MOST PEOPLE DON'T DO WELL IN THE OFFICE OR WORK ENVIRONMENT...

(A) Working in any office setting or environment requires more than just certificate in our complex world today. The best that the certificate can do for you is just to open doors. 

 

Working life is not easy any more. There are more threats, as well as opportunity too.

In today's complex world of work, the rules of working had changed. We can all counts number of people that get promoted that do not deserve to be. Come to think of it, we also know a lot that deserve to get promoted, but haven't been. But however, there is a good news. The good news is on the need for all working people to embrace the principles and applications of emotional intelligence, if they want to move ahead.

Emotional intelligence is the single highest contributor to making success out of oneself.

There are plenty of educated people who never make it. Some of them have great ideas but don't have the motivation. And then there are the ones who have not succeeded because they lack social skills.

Managing your own emotions and those of others play a huge part in who succeed.

What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, understand and manage feelings and moods in both ourselves and others around us or that we work or associate with.

Traditional intelligence or IQ has never been adequate for success.

We all know some people who excelled at school examination and are not doing well in the practical world.

(B) OFFICE POLITICS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME, YOU MIGHT LOOSE YOUR JOB..

There was a time that all that you need in order to get ahead on the job is simply to work hard and be promoted and also receive award, but sadly that era is dead.

Today, backstabbing colleague, people pleasing, sexual seduction and self- serving are the order of the day and the culture that we see around in most organizations.

The workplace had become a battle ground like what we see in most political cabinet or forum.

Bad stuff now happen to sincere people. Undoubtedly, you can readily think of one or more people that you know that use such tactics to further their careers. WELCOME TO OFFICE POLITICS.

But the first obvious question would be, why do they do it. The answer is simple, all workplaces are really about competition, much of it is unspoken. But the very fact that people do plot and scheme at work clearly shows that this truth is real and that politics delivers results whether we like it or not.

Office politics happens whether you like it or not, some people try to be noble and refuse to play the game; they focus on their jobs and work hard in the hope of being noticed and rewarded, and sadly they end up being overlooked or ignored.

The question is, do you want to be overlooked or ignored?
