Whether we like it or not, politics and powerplay occurs everywhere and in every strata of human endeavour. There is always a constant itch for humans to try and outdo each other. It is found in religious organizations, clubs, families and even in the workplace. It could be fuelled by monetary incentives or sheer desire for control.
I have worked in an organization where three line managers are trying as much as they can to make each other look like the bad person. The persons that are always caught in this power tussle are always the CEO and the other employees.
As a CEO or an entrepreneur that has staff, how do you think you can go about managing this powerplay? If not properly managed, it can tear the organization apart. What measures can be taken to ensure this politics is checked for it not to become destructive and destroy the organization?
