Why might your colleagues be undermining you?

• Colleagues could be undermining you for a number of reasons:
  • They haven't accepted you yet as a colleague.
  • They see you as an enemy.
  • You may have alienated them.
  • Organizational politics - little either side can do about it.
  • Would it help to analyze whether you or them, or both, are responsible for the current standoff? Try this quiz.
  • Do you need to broaden your influencing style?
    
• Have you developed political skills or do you see politics as universally negative?
