Is Staying Apolitical in Corporate Life Even Possible?
One thing I’ve observed is that there are usually two groups in the corporate world. One group is closer to the CEO/managers/leads, and they usually seem to be doing better in terms of growth and opportunities. The second group is more average and often complains about the first group.
What I’ve noticed is that people in the second group are often jealous of those who are close to management. They start calling them things like “CEO ka beta” or “uthaao.”
From your experience, what’s the better approach? Is it better to build strong relationships with leadership, or stay completely apolitical and neutral?
