Each organization has its politics. The best thing to do is learn what it is and adapt your style and processes, as necessary, to work within them. Fighting it is just a losing battle.

Inside the organizations you can find business rules, business politics and business laws in some cases. Business rules are not matter of discussion neither interpretation. Business politics are matter of discussion and interpretation. From business politics interpretation the business culture is created. So, from a project management perspective, you have to take into account the business politics and as @Stephane mentioned above understand them to apply them to your initiative.

Organizations politics are rooted in the company procedures and policies, we need to improve on it to get desires. The major roles and primary objective of any organization is to solve problems for people. We need to put people first. Leadership without people orientation is elution.

Leadership is ability to take organization or people successfully on a journey which they wont not go by themselves. Leadership is ability to influence people and serve humanity not to uses people to achieve our needs or meet our needs. The most greatest resources on earth is people, every leaders should focus on it.

Leadership and organization growth faster when they pay more attention in serving problems for people. Another things we need to consider is propel high performance in a sustained manner. Very often when crisis of a system nature force a review of how things have been done, there is tendency for a spate of reflections on capture what the key attributes of effective leaders should be. Its usually even more powerfully conveyed when the authors are accomplished leaders who lived those values or were powered in measuring against certain values in the accomplishment by such.
