What we can learn from the Bible about office politics

Companies are downsizing, rightsizing and no job is secure today. And the ordinary working men and women are certainly disturbed enough to get on the latest fitness program - survival of the fittest, that is. It means playing... office politics! Many corporate executives are at a loss as to how to handle office politics - should they ignore, or play dirty office politics? We can take guidance from the ancient book - the Bible. Many Bible characters also played politics to survive, thrive or prosper. The principles and stories in the Bible are applicable today for many corporate executives seeking solace and a clear conscience to steer through the office political mess.
