A few weeks ago, one of my professors was promoting a class he taught called “Power and Politics.” No, this is not a political science class, it’s a business class. Yeah, THAT kind of power and politics.

I never want to work for a company where the curriculum of that class is relevant. In fact, if you have to spend time at your company thinking about and contemplating the curriculum from this class, you’re probably not at a great company. Just look at how politics beleaguers our own congressional system. It’s no different at a company.

Personally, I think great work, innovative thinking, collaborative tendencies and a “whatever it takes” demeanor should be the only “political platforms” necessary to go up the elevator of success (it’s faster than the ladder).
