5. Be aproblem solver

6. Become a center forinformation and resources- be a "go to" person

7.Use appropriate compliments

8.Make a good showing at the office party or picnic

The average employee just wants to be productive and get paid for working in an environment where their merit is rewarded and they are respected by coworkers. However, to ignore office politics is to ignore those underlying forces that account for the differences in success between equally talented people or even being manipulated by others.
