I usually recommend to think of office politics as another user journey. We can map it out, understand the players, engage (strategically!), demonstrate value of our work while building genuine relationships whenever possible. This balance of visibility, productivity and authenticity helps creating a better work environment and advance careers.
Would be nice to know how to balance between the two.
