PMO Manager Leadership - Don't Play Politics

True leaders do not play politics. Sure, true leaders and even servant-leaders are cognizant of and appreciate the political landscape, but they do not join in the game. When you play politics and engage in disingenuous relations with others, or worse, even harm others, you have just started down a slippery slope that quickly ends up in a loss of respect by others, a reduced ability to lead the team, and a personal lack of integrity that gets more and more evident the more politics you play. Organizational politics within the business are for hob-knobbers and career-climbers, not for real business leaders.
