Recognizing ‘political figures’ .
Because of that office politics involving certain people, style of interpersonal interaction and communication, as well as efforts to develop and launch a tactical relationship work, then you need to watch or are looking for is:
The people who influence.
Influential figures here are not always synonymous with high office, but of how strong position in decision-making
People close to the leadership.
Usually he often relied on top, was consulted in the various meetings, even outside the office he was often seen accompanying the boss. Not far wrong if we assume he has ‘influence’ of the boss, so if you have a problem and need immediate supervisor consideration, you could use his help.
“Click” or groups that stand out.
Notice how they interact with each other as well as when dealing with people outside the group. Grouping may occur between those who came from the same alma mater, or have the skills or background the same ideals. The grouping possible because of interests, hobbies and the same lifestyle. If the approach to a particular group, of course, must be adapted to group.
Interaction Pattern.
In addition to individuals or groups, it helps you be sensitive to patterns of interaction and communication between people in your city. For example, you can often be seen with the B, but the content of their communications only minor things. While the intensity of the relationship of A and the C appeared normal, but the communications that they do more weight, content of the conversation regarding important issues in the office and have an effect on employment.
Language covert.
You are also expected smart enough to translate the often subtle language used in the office of the political situation. For example, a boss says,
“Because Mr. X is not in our office again, who’s leading your division is all Mrs. Y, which in this case would be assisted by Miss Z “. If you listened deeper, perhaps beyond that, there is another meaning:
“because after a period of performance of Mr.. X is bad and his career was fired, then Mrs. Y for a while leading your division. Because Mrs. Y was not a proper replacement, so he must be assisted by Mrs. Z are more competent.”
