With this quiz, I have all of these traits, indicating that I am good at empowerment. I agree with this assessment.

Quiz 7-2

This score indicates a "below average tendency to play office politics," a statement with which I agree wholeheartedly. Office politics detracts from maximum efficiency and effectiveness. I detracts from making the best decisions possible. Organizations full of people playing politics are not only negative places in which to work, they aren't very productive either, and tend not be leaders in their industries. The only question where I wish my answer was different was for #16 -- I admittedly have not done nearly enough to cultivate a network of contacts. I've started looking at networking strategies in order to learn more about this and remedy this, because I recognize that as being a weakness that will hold me back. I guess the points where the quiz falls down are on Q11. Telling people what they want to hear is not good politics unless that person is a low-level manager with zero upward mobility.

Most CEOs and other top people I've met have almost the opposite personality from low-level managers; they prefer direct communication. You don't impress them by telling them what you want to hear, you impress them with clear, honest communication, even if that means being blunt. So if you're playing politics, who do you want to impress? The guy at the top of the company, or the going nowhere low level manager who needs his ego stroked? I think the quiz gets that one wrong.
