From the minute I stepped into his office, Franklin showed me the utmost respect. I told him the situation I was in and he immediately got to work. I gave him the evidence and proof that I had and he organized a folder with every detail I gave him. In court, he was spot on with his questions and with his arguments with the judge. What was typically a 3 year sentence was reduced to 6 months. I truly believe Franklin is the best lawyer out there.

I used hfim for my son and I did all the leg work and he's never on time for court but on time for his payments. He's been a lawyer for very long time but he's knowledgeable and has no desire fot fight. If your looking for someone to fight a battle for with and for you he's not one!!!!

I enjoyed my stay at Geysir Hestar, but when I arrived I was fairly exhausted - having gotten only four hours of sleep in the preceding 36 hours. I was warmly greeted on my arrival, shown to my comfortable room and bed, provided with a good orientation to the facilities, and promptly got into bed and slept for twelve hours. Before closing the curtains and falling asleep I did notice that I could see Strokkur Geysir's regular eruptions from my window. The curtains on the windows were important - since the late afternoon sun shone brightly into the room (and continued to do so until about 10:00 that night). I got up early the next morning, which is exactly what you should do when you stay here. The reason is that Geysir Hestar is perfectly located just a few kilometers from both the geysers of the Haukadalur Valley and Gullfoss Waterfall. I went first to the geysers, and had the entire area to myself at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning. I stayed there for well over an hour and, when I left, I was still the only person at the site. I then drove to Gullfoss, where I was also the first person at the site (although I was soon joined by other visitors). The geysers and Gullfoss waterfall are amazing natural wonders - but experiencing them one-on-one is a rare privilege that I can't recommend highly enough!
E Charles2016-05-22T00:00:00ZEnjoyed the horse riding trip and the rooms were extremely clean. Smooth checkin that made us feel right at home.
Sean2016-09-04T00:00:00ZChambre bien aménagée et jolie ment décorée avec des salles de bains communes mais partagées entre peu de monde. Le gros soucis étant l'insonorisation, les murs sont fins et impossible de dormir tant que les "colocataires" ne sont pas décidés, donc dépendant des gens présents. Bonne situation entre les sites du sud.
Mathilde 2016-09-04T00:00:00ZExcellent stay, 0 problems, clean and beautiful accomodations
Tristan2016-09-08T00:00:00ZUns hat es sehr sehr sehr gut gefallen. Die Leute waren super nett.alles war sehr sauber und urig, einfach herrlich. Nicht weit entfernt ist eine super bar, sehr zu empfehlen. Sehr empfehlenswert wir würden jederzeit wieder dort hinreisen. Zehn Sterne
Jessica2016-06-15T00:00:00ZThe thing is that there was a mistake in our booking, and our host was so confused, that she offered us the room for the night! Even if the room wasn't the one we booked basically, the one we had was totally charming, clean, and the guesthouse's geographic situation turned it to perfection! We totally recommend Asa's guesthouse! Thank you!
sebastien2016-09-02T00:00:00ZA good advantage of having a horseback riding hut (professional business) attached. Staff are all horse lovers. Thanks for the fun time with the horse.
Samu2016-08-01T00:00:00ZWonderful stay near Gullfoss and Geysir! Ása and all her colleagues were more than friendly, had perfect tips about where to eat or what to do. Most amazing was that even though I booked the room one week later than I arrived, there was no problem at all, getting a room immediately. The rooms are simple but comfortable and there is everything you need. Definitely recommendable! Thank you for this amazing time!

Asa was very friendly and helpful during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I liked the location as it is quiet and less touristy than the hotel right next to Geysir. We did a horseback ride in the morning which was great.
Porter2015-06-08T00:00:00ZLittle paradise! Very beautiful place. Our host was very kind. I recommend!
Alexandre2016-06-07T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful, if brief, stay and would recommend Geysir Hestar highly. A warm welcome on a wet and chilly day!
Mike2016-04-22T00:00:00ZFantastic accommodation. Easy parking, easy location. Warm, clean, cosy. Highly recommended!! This was our favourite place that we stayed whilst in Iceland!
Chris2015-11-30T00:00:00ZDecorated very well, and the views were unreal. Common space with kitchenette was a great place to relax. Host was very helpful! We had a great experience.
Lindsay2016-09-24T00:00:00ZAccommodations were just as advertised!Beautiful horse farm in the countryside and very clean. There is an excellent bar and restaurant next door with a friendly staff that serves as a catch all for seasonal workers and wayward travelers. For me it was the perfect trip
Kevin2015-09-26T00:00:00ZThe room and accomodations were great and as charming as the photos. We had a comfortable and quiet stay at Asa's ranch and especially enjoyed the horseriding option.
Diane2015-11-02T00:00:00ZA truly wonderful place to stay! It was our favorite guesthouse we stayed in our entire trip. It was clean and just lovely. Ása was so kind and super helpful in telling us about the area. We could see the northern lights from the living room window, it was fantastic! The little dog who lives on the farm was super friendly, and we enjoyed going out to pet the horses (who are very friendly as well). The area is perfect for a stopover (we did thinvellir, geysir and gulfoss ) spent the night at Ása's, then continued on the trip. We took her suggestions (and you should too!) to go to the Secret Lagoon (amazing), and had dinner at the small, one-man-owned bar/ pizzeria right down the road and had the best time! We couldn't have been happier, I would tell anyone visiting that area to absolutely stay! It was amazing! Thanks for everything Ása!

We were warmly welcomed by the hosts. They are very nice people. They have guided us to the property and showed on site how things work. The house is walking distance to Geysir. It was a nice walk (you need to find out your own route :)). We loved that house. It was exactly as on the photos and in the description. Stylish decoration gave us nice feeling of comfort, warmth and relaxation. You got your privacy at the house (neighbouring houses has no direct window view to your sleeping room etc.) We could cook (as we like) and relax. And look at our photo on the tv screen. If you've rented a normal car Watch out at the driveway. It's pretty damaged: it's a normal thing on Iceland, but surprise for e.g. a Dutch person who just came and never had to drive gravel road. Do your groceries on the way as there is no shop in Geysir. We've found first decent shop in Fludir, otherwise in Laugarvatn. If you drive through Selfoss: don't hesitate do your groceries there for a few-day-stay (the fridge is big enough).
Agata2016-06-04T00:00:00ZBeautiful cabin, lots of space, with a view on Geysir.
Kristine2016-08-17T00:00:00ZCalme et sérénité dans ce logement ! Amateurs de grands espaces, ce logement est pour vous.. Cependant, il reste facilement accessible et à proximité de points d'intérêts que nous offre l'Islande... Nous reviendrons dans ce merveilleux pays.
monelle2016-09-07T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had an amazing stay at this cabin. It's set far enough apart from the others to provide privacy. It was very clean so we were instantly comfortable in the home. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to cook food, which is so nice. A huge luxury was doing laundry during our trip at their cabin since they had a washer and dryer. Also, you can't beat the view of Geysir from the deck, our favorite aspect of the cabin. We would definitely stay here again! Definitely recommend this very modern cabin. Thank you for a great stay!
Susanna2016-09-08T00:00:00ZLovely cottage, in a great location.
Sarah2016-11-14T00:00:00ZThe "cabin" was exactly as described and the location near the Geysir is just great, we could see it from the house! Johann made everything for us enjoy the stay. I recommend strongly ! Thanks !
vincent2016-07-25T00:00:00ZBeautiful and well maintained cottage in a lovely location. Close to lots of things to visit and see like Geysir and Gullfoss, and many great restaurants.
Ashley2016-08-07T00:00:00ZInga and Joi are amazing hosts. The cottage we stayed in was perfect. It has fully equipped kitchen with a stove and a fridge, 2 bedrooms and a living room. Everything inside a cabin is new and clean. There is an LCD TV with a few channels. The cottage is perfectly located, we walked 10 minutes to the Geyser where you can find 3 restaurants, store and a bus stop. You can also drive from Geyser to the cabin, there is only 2-3 minutes to drive. Please keep in mind there is no grocery store around, the closest one is about 30km away. The prices in all Iceland restaurants are very high. From the Geyser area you can take the bus to the waterfalls or to Reykjavik. Inga and Joi purchased some food for us and it was really nice.

Nicole2016-09-29T00:00:00ZGreat hosts! Seriously enjoyed staying here for a night. Wish to have stayed longer. They were great about late arrival, and very communicative on the Airbnb app. The farm is absolutely stunning. You wake up to an endless view over fields of horses, going almost all the way to the ocean. We got a tour of the farm and time with their awesome Icelandic dog. Highly recommend!
Joe2016-09-12T00:00:00ZThis was simply amazing. Our children (5 & 7) said that this was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. The only downside was that we only stayed one-night. We will definitely be back.
Chris2016-08-17T00:00:00ZThey were extremely welcoming and the small wooden house was charming.
kate2016-06-06T00:00:00ZThis was a great little cabin on a beautiful setting. The hosts were great and took the time to show us around their property. It was very close to Gullfoss waterfall. Definitely recommend.
Mark2016-03-10T00:00:00ZAmazing place with an amazing hosts! It's not exactly where the map shows you but it's close to the great geyser and Gullfass waterfall. The place itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay and off course an amazing view. I would definitely stay there again!
Inna2016-06-27T00:00:00ZUn coin de Paradis tout près de Gullfoss. Un merveilleux cottage très confortable et parfaitement équipé Un accueil extrêmement chaleureux. Krissa et son mari nous ont fait partager leur passion pour l'élevage de chevaux islandais et nous ont donné plein de conseils lors de notre séjour. De loin notre meilleur halte lors de notre séjour en Islande !et pour les petits et les grands un merveilleux souvenir de l'Islande. merci merci merci

Charles2016-05-23T00:00:00ZA decent enough place to stay but if there are a bunch of campers, don't expect your shower in a timely manner, and The wifi is only available inside the restaurant, not inside the hostel.
Anne Marie2016-09-07T00:00:00ZEverything was perfect. The room was comfortable and clean and the shower was excellent. I loved the relaxed atmosphere in the bar where we enjoyed a meal and a few drinks at a reasonable cost. Thanks

Our experience at Mengi Kjarnholt was fantastic! The guesthouse was extremely clean, had beautiful aesthetic, was well kept, and adorned with lovely art. The beautiful view from the house overlooked farms with horses. There was a separate building with a bar which was lovely. The breakfast served was delicious: homemade muesli, fresh baked bread, Arctic char, cheese, juices, tomato chutney and great coffee. The hosts were very polite and helped us with suggestions on what to see (and even some less traveled attractions!) Centrally located to all commonly visited Golden Circle sights. We were very happy with our stay and would absolutely book again!
Billy2016-07-15T00:00:00ZWe had our best two nights in Iceland staying with Jon Thor. He is a very engaging host and extremely knowledgeable about the area ( and Reykjavik too ! ). He provided us with great restaurant suggestions and ideas for places to visit - even the best times to go. We would have loved to stay there for several more days. We enjoyed spending time in the adjacent bar(n) in the evenings, talking with several of the other guests about where they had been and getting suggestions from them as well. There were plenty of showers in the lowest level, so really no waiting even with a full house ( I think that there were 8 rooms ). The rooms were good sized with 2 very comfortable beds. Breakfast was fantastic, served family style in the dining room with excellent views to the south west. It is very convenient to Geysir and Gullfoss, both are less than 10 minutes away, and only about an hour from Reykajavik. If you are going to Iceland anytime in May through September and are planning on visiting Geysir or Gulfoss - you should stay here!!!
Chuck2015-08-02T00:00:00ZJon was outside to greet us as we pulled up, and was very kind and welcoming. This place is beyond gorgeous and beautifully designed. Everything about it was delightful. It was my favorite place we stayed throughout our entire trip. Highly recommend.
Elaine2016-08-11T00:00:00ZWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and we enjoyed all the art on the wall. Breakfast was charming and delicious. That homemade granola was memorable!
Holly2016-09-10T00:00:00ZJon made us feel instantly welcome. From his first email response to us, to the moment we left his beautiful farm house. The location for the Golden Circle could not have been better. It was remote and quiet, yet very close to major attractions of the area. His insight of the area and secret locations to visit made our stay even better. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much.....but it was Jon that made the whole experience so much fun. Thank you Jon!
Brad2015-07-15T00:00:00ZStaying with Jon Thor was definitely one of the highlights of an already-awesome trip: His place is located in a nice, beautiful, and calm area -that is still close enough to sightseeing spots-. The attention was great; the environment was familiar and cozy; the breakfast was superbe! :) But, what was the best of all? Getting to know a good, super friendly Icelander and his family. Jon, with a voice that has the power of a thousand waves crashing on the rocks, has a great heart and made us feel like in home. Plus, the tips about things to do around were priceless. Grateful to have been his guest, and hope to meet again.
JP2015-08-18T00:00:00ZA wonderful spot to call home while exploring the golden circle or to get away from the busy city. Our stay was short and sweet but everything was done to make sure we were comfortable and well fed! We arrived late, but the hosts were gracious and even gave us some recommendations for places open late for food. Great showers and bathrooms. We never had to wait to use them!! Would love to come back one day.

What an amazing stay we spent at Erling's and Anna's house! They had prepared a cake before we arrived, the house was very cosy and very clean. It couldn't have been better! I obviously recommend this charming cottage!
Alexandre2016-06-28T00:00:00ZThis really was a dream cottage! The location is fantastic. The cottage itself is actually much bigger than you'd expect from the pictures. It has a fabulous, large wrap-around porch that really let you enjoy the spectacular views. The cottage has everything you would need and is really clean and bright. And the hosts are very attentive to details! Even leaving a lovely pie as a welcome treat. I cannot recommend this place enough if you want to be in an ideal location to get the most out of the Icelandic countryside.
Vera2016-08-22T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at the Geysir cottage. The location was fantastic with views of the geyser out the living room window. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us with a full loft upstairs for the kids. The location was perfect for easy day trips to the national park, waterfalls, geysers and other scenic locations. We were looking to experience the real Iceland and found it at this cottage. Quiet nights (although it didn't really get dark) with rain on the roof made it quite the relaxing vacation. Our host even welcomed us with homemade bread and cake left in the kitchen! Wow. We highly recommend this cottage if you're interested in a beautiful log home with all the amenities and a gorgeous location. The only tricky part is finding the street off the highway to turn off. I recommend watching the video provided by the owner which will help you identify the turn off onto the unpaved road (~1/2 mile past geyser).
Bernd2016-07-15T00:00:00ZA great welcome of homemade cake and bread awaited us the moment we entered ! Amazing ! Location is lovely! And the house is very beautiful! Tks for everything !
Pradeep2016-07-14T00:00:00ZWe absolutely LOVED the dream cottage. The location was amazing along with the spaciousness and cleanliness of the place. Our hosts were easy to get a hold of and very accommodating. We arrived to a well kept, well stocked, clean cottage with amazing views of the geysir and easy access to hikes, hot springs, waterfalls, and breathtaking scenery! We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the great place.
Michele2016-09-01T00:00:00ZFantastic chalet where you can view the geyser erupting whilst sitting on the veranda enjoying a bbq. All the amenities you would expect at home including washing machine. Host was very good, quick communication and the house was exactly as described.
Dave2016-07-20T00:00:00ZTrès bel accueil de la part d'Erling. Communications courtoises et efficaces. Arrivée au chalet très facile, bien expliquée. Le chalet est grand, confortable, bien aménagé, bien équipé et bien situé. La terrasse est tr`s inviatante. Il est facile de partir pour différentes randonnées et visites des lieux environnants. Nous sommes une famille de six avec quatres grands ados et nous avons été très à l'aise. Je recommande fortement ce chalet et ses propriétaires.
Emmanuelle2016-08-17T00:00:00ZMycket trevligt hus i perfekt läge med promenadavstånd och utsikt över Geysir! Rymlig stockstuga med karaktär. Vi kände oss extra välkomna med nybakt bröd och kaka på bordet när vi anlände.

The cottage is very nice, a magical view from the lawn: The Strokkur geyser is very clearly visible. The house has a very complete inventory, we were a group of 8 andere had a nice time. Geyser and gulfoss falls are very closeby, would definatively recommend a visit!
thijs2016-08-23T00:00:00ZThis is a very nice 3 bedroom cottage in a prime location on the golden circle. From the photo it looks small but it fit 7 of us quite comfortably. It's actually on a property with a larger guest house that has dorm style rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and the wifi was strong. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer! There is a horse farm down the road where we went on a lovely horse back ride. Cottage is minutes drive from Geysir and Gullfoss.
Carrie2015-08-29T00:00:00ZWonderful cottage to stay with a lovely couple stay nearby the Neighbourhood. Safe and warm accommodation near geysir and gulfoss. Highly recommended.
Irene Tham2016-09-21T00:00:00ZSuperbe maison située entre Geysir et Gullfoss. Situation parfaite, suffisamment isolé pour apercevoir une aurore boréale tant rêvée. La maison est bien équipée, propre et parfaitement fonctionnelle. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit. Nous étions déjà dans ces lieux en 2009 mais dans le grand logement mis à disposition des groupes...toujours aussi bien. En un mot, génial !
Mathieu2016-10-08T00:00:00Zit was great to have a stay in this cottage. very efficient place very close to Gullfoss and Geysir.
Nicolas2016-06-29T00:00:00ZVery accommodating even though were late. Place is very clean my friends were impressed :)
Anna2016-11-13T00:00:00ZThe house was cosy and well equiped, I recomend it !
Louise2016-12-03T00:00:00ZThis place is lovely and totally worth the money. Quite and secluded. The only people staying nearby are the host and (I believe) another group of tourists. Due to light pollution, it is quite hard to see aurora outside the house unless it is very strong. However, we found it very hard to locate the house. We drove from Selfoss using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map, and stopped in the middle of nowhere. Luckily there were a few local people passing-by, and helped us out. Turned out that we had to take a right turn off the main road at a junction we missed earlier.

Nous avons été tres bien accueillis dans un logement chauffé avant notre arrivée et tout éclairé. Le chalet est cosy et chaleureux. Nous avons découvert au lendemain de notre arrivee une vue panoramique époustouflante ! De quoi se ressourcer pleinement pendant quelques jours. Un lieux magnifique, un prix abordable pour sa situation géographique, le necessaire en vaisselle, merci Jonina!
Camille2016-11-13T00:00:00ZDie Lage der Unterkunft ist gut. Von der Terrasse aus hat man eine tolle Aussicht und kann man mit Sicherheit schö die Nordlichter beobachten (wir hatten in der Nacht keinen Glück :)) Die Hütte ist klein, aber reicht völlig aus für zwei Personen. Was gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, ist die Toilette - seeeehr hellhörig- Uns hat der Aufenthalt gut gefallen.
Natalie2017-01-09T00:00:00ZCozy cabin centrally located in the golden circle! It was perfect for day trips and driving the golden circle.
Sarah2017-01-05T00:00:00ZCosy, beautiful hut near the geysirs and waterfall and right on golden circle route. Would return 100% Host very helpful! Thank you for our stay
Amelia2016-11-30T00:00:00ZKleines Cottage im Berghang. Klingt schon bezaubernd und das war es auch. Der Ausblick war einfach atemberaubend. Die Hütte war klein und kuschelig aber durch die große Terrasse nach vorne raus hatte man ein viel größeres "Raumgefühl". Es ist absolut romantisch und außergewöhnlich. Eine Rezeption mit Bar und Restaurant, sowie Duschen usw. war ebenfalls vorhanden. Sehr nett um abends mal ein Bier zu trinken. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Jacky2017-01-16T00:00:00ZHad a good stay at Joninas cabin.
Rune2016-11-09T00:00:00ZThe cabin was super cozy and very clean. It was nice and warm and had great views. Definitely would stay again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geysir cottage. A lovely wooden cabin in a fabulous location overlooking the erupting Strokuur Geysir. The cabin was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with plenty of outdoor space for our boys to run around. Our host Maria was incredibly helpful sending us directions, useful information and a list of recommended places to visit. We would recommend this property as a great base for visiting the sights of southern Iceland or just sitting back and waiting for Strokkur to blast. We can't thank Maria enough for sharing her lovely home with us.
Robbie2014-07-25T00:00:00ZGeysir cottage was a great place to stay to explore the region. Maria was helpful and available to answer questions promptly. Other than the hot tub being unavailable, it was wonderful. I recommend staying here if you are traveling to Geysir.
Thomas2015-08-31T00:00:00ZMaria was a wonderful hostess! The cottage is beautiful, well-appointed and offers an amazing view of the Geysir. Maria gave us tons of valuable information and answered questions promptly. Geysir cottage was a fantastic part of our Oceland experience.
Jennifer2015-08-15T00:00:00ZMaria is a very responsive & helpful host. She provided us with lots of useful information. The cottage is modern, well-kept & equipped with everything you need for a stay there. The location is nothing less than great & depending on your needs it can be your peaceful retreat to relax and/or base camp for the many possible activities in this area. (Don't miss to check Maria's recommendations!) We stayed there as a party of 4 & all of us would come again to this place w/o hesitation. Thanks!
Jens2015-06-15T00:00:00ZWe had a pleasant stay in Maria's cottage in Geysir. A nice and quiet place with a fantastic view. We loved it.
Henkjan2016-07-23T00:00:00ZThe cottage was incredible! Amazing views, convenient location, well equipped and comfortable. Maria was a great host. She provided us with some great information about the area and the country as a whole. She even loaned us some extra gear that allowed us to go on a tour we otherwise would have had to pass on. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the cottage again.
Tanner2014-08-13T00:00:00ZMarvellous cottage with everything you could probably need. Highly recommended when you are travelling with children as well. Even though we didn't meet Maria in person, getting in touch was very nice and easy. Certainly one of our favourite places during our vacation!

This location was part of the Skjol Hostel and Camping. I stayed here with my boyfriend - because of the long days in Iceland and our desire to see as much of the area as possible, we didn't roll into Skjol until 10pm. Thankfully, the hostel restaurant/pub is hopping until midnight! The key reason for this is proprietor of the location, Jon - a delightful, personable, helpful man who delights in telling you stories and relating the history of the area (ask him about Beyoncé if you're staying in the area; if you're going to Grimsey, ask him about Gyllfi). Jon is everywhere at once, in the kitchen, helping campers, programming music or TV selections, getting keys for hostel guests, and making drinks. He's a great guy, with great energy, and one of the best examples of the welcoming Icelandic spirit. Also... you know its a good place when the locals come to grab a drink alongside the tourists. The area itself is created on Jon's family farm - located PERFECTLY between Geysir and Gullfoss, and near Laugavartn (try out Lindin and the Laugavartn Pools). The views are spectacular and majestic, and the area is pleasant and quiet. It's very central to some of the most beautiful spots in the golden circle, and is a lovely, lovely location, with rolling fields (and a playground for kids!) The space itself is as simple as the images show - you get two beds, two laps and a heater. You share a bathroom - big ones - but they're exactly what you expect from a hostel. My only comment was that the floors could have been swept a little better - while they encourage guests to remove their shoes, it's obvious that not everyone does - there's no mud or rocks, just a little dusty. Additionally, the wifi in the hostel area is pretty weak, so get your work done in the restaurant early. Thank you again for a great stay, Nora & Jon!

JimmySuper vibe and good pizza in the 'middle of nowhere'!
Rikke Marie2016-07-12T00:00:00ZThere are a bunch of things you advertised but did not deliver on. This was not a great experience because ultimately you were not transparent and truthful that the rooms are super small and have no wi fi. The wi fi is only available at the restaurant?? Jon is great (person I checked in with) but the shower and bathroom situation is not fair because you have people from the campground using the showers and bathroom that should be designated for people who are staying inside the Airbnb. For the $€£¥ value this is not a great deal at all. Location is good but that's about it.
Reza2016-09-07T00:00:00ZSkjol Campgrounds was perfect for our trip around the Golden Circle. It's centrally located to many great sights and attractions. The listing matched the experience perfectly. The room is no frills but it was clean and well kept. Exactly what my fiancée and I were looking for. The restaurant and bar attached to the hostel was definitely a plus. It's a convenient breakfast/dinner and it's a lively place at night when all the guests have a beer and talk about there travels. I would highly recommend Skjol to anyone who's looking for a place to stay in the Geysir area.
Matt2016-08-05T00:00:00ZThe location between Gullfoss and the Geyser was great, the pizza in the very nice joined restaurant was very delicious. The rooms were very simple but that's ok! The only one I have to remark is that one of the two showers was out of order and the other one was clogged (or it seems so) because after using the shower everything was under water including the corridor. The second: we did not have towels ... yes I know, we could have asked be it was raining and I wasn't in the mood to go to the reception in the neighboured house. We found one clean towel in the shelf above the washing machine in the corridor and decided to get by with one towel for that one night we stayed there. But nevertheless we can recommend this opportunity to sleep that near to two (URL HIDDEN) a possibility to visit Gullfoss twice, a second time during sunset when there are nearly no people!
Christine 2016-07-16T00:00:00ZWe loved Nora's place! great location, close to Geysir and other attractions on the Golden Circle. Very clean and the restaurant in their guesthouse has great food (especially the pizza). Nora was very happy to give us suggestions and very easy and pleasant to talk to. Had a great time with both her and her husband at the end of a long day hiking and touring. We would stay there again if we're fortunate to come to Beautiful Iceland again.

If you are looking for something remote, don't look further! We stayed here with our 1 year old daughter for a few days and absolutey loved this place. It is a lovely bungalow with fantastic views on beautiful surroundings that has all amenities thinkable + a brilliant hot tub outside. Jona was always very responsive and really made an effort to make us feel at home. The bungalow is part of a 6 bungalow plan well thought out, so you don't actually see the other bungalows. Within a 10 min drive you have the well known attractions of Geysir (a geyser) and Gullfoss (an impressive waterfall). We highly recommend this place and would definetely go back if/when we return to Iceland.

Really great and beautiful location near golden circle. Cabin has everything you need! The water smells a bit like sulphur, but thats to be expected at such a great location near all the geysers! Would definetely recommend!
Marijn2017-02-05T00:00:00ZEnjoyed the warm and rustic interior! Cabin was well fitted and decorated and had all the amenities one need. Pity that I could only stay for one night. Offers a peaceful, picturesque, countryside getaway experience.
Kylo Wyq2016-11-16T00:00:00ZReally nice little cabin in the middle of the Golden Circle. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone who likes nature and scenic views and plans to discover south-west Iceland.
Tamás2016-09-02T00:00:00ZLa maison est exactement comme le montrent les photos. Elle est située à coté de la maison de Marta, il est donc facile d'obtenir des informations de sa part. La maison est idéalement située pour visiter le cercle d'or, et le rapport qualité prix est très bon. Marta s'est rendue disponible pour nous aider à trouver la maison.
Melanie2016-08-10T00:00:00ZWe had no personel contact to Marta, but the location is great. Closed to Geysir and Gulfoss and a very beautiful waterfall nearby, at least nice as Gulfos not so high but only a very few people. The cabin has had all the stuff we had needed.
Frank2016-08-04T00:00:00ZMarta's place was exactly as described, very simple and basic yet with all the comfort one might need, le location is perfect to see the "must been seen" of Iceland plus there is a never ending backyard with horses and hills which we loved when we went for a walk at sunset .
Céline2016-09-02T00:00:00ZVery nice and easy place to stay. Cozy cabin in a quiet area, perfect for cooking a meal and relaxing as you tour the Golden Circle
Sylvia2016-08-23T00:00:00ZUnfortunately, we got pretty late in Reykjavik the day we were supposed to check in to Marta's, hunting northern lights and ended up being too tired and sleepy to drive up to the cabin and missed our stay at the wonderful cabin. Marta has been helpful throughout in communicating and also checked in with us later to make sure we saw northern lights. We hope to stay at Marta's during our next visit to Iceland.

It is good place. It is relax for my brain.
Angelina2016-08-07T00:00:00ZJon's home was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. It is close to some great attraction in western Iceland and reasonably close to the south coast as well. It is perfect if you are looking for a secluded escape away from any sort of annoyance. Communication with the host was good and he provided all the necessary info to correctly locate the farm. Needless to say, you need a car to get there. I would stay again if in the area.
raffaello2016-08-11T00:00:00ZCesta na ubytování nám byla Jónem perfektně popsána, jeho odpovědi byly okamžité. Byt byl výborně vybavený, moc hezky zařízený a byli jsme tam velmi spokojeni, cítili jsme se jako doma. Byli jsme zde jen 2 noci. Kdybychom tušili, jak nám tam bude dobře, určitě bychom změnili itinerář a zůstali déle. Měli jsme zde výborné pohodlí. Výhled z okna je do divoké přírody, ticho a klid. Mohu jenom doporučit.
Petra2016-09-11T00:00:00ZJon was there with his wife to welcome us, also very nice house at nice place.
Erik2016-09-07T00:00:00ZTrès grand appartement, très bien équipé et particulièrement bien situé : - en pleine nature, dans une zone arborée et agricole - à une dizaine de kms de fludir où on peut trouver tout ce dont on a besoin et surtout un superbe hotpot et quelques agréables restaurants. - dans le cercle d'or mais également à proximité de sites également très intéressants et beaucoup moins fréquentés ( la route 32, Stöng et Gjain ). Très bon séjour du fait à la fois de l'environnement et de l'hébergement.
christine2016-07-20T00:00:00ZGreat Golden Circle base camp. No Wi-Fi so come with your itinerary prepared in advanced.
Mony2016-12-28T00:00:00ZAccueil parfait et amical. Jon s'est déplacé après m'avoir indiqué par téléphone où et comment trouver la clé. Il s'est également déplacé la veille du départ. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter tous les sites importants du cercle d'or et jusqu'à Vik (un peu plus loin). Idéal aussi pour des enfants (campagne, jeux d'enfants, sécurité du site) Calme absolu !

huang2016-05-21T00:00:00ZWonderful property! Fun atmosphere with the community lounge in the guest house. The private cabins are cosy and well decorated. All beds are seprate twin beds but very comfortable. Location was great(close to the geysirs!) horses/bunnys/and puppy were adorable and very friendly. Do use caution when approaching the older light brown dog, potentially aggressive if approached quickly. Very scenic area would definitely return! There was a slight problem with the shower drain, the staff is now aware and will hopefully be fixed soon but it can easily overflow and flood the bathroom floor, not fun! Also the hot water ran out after two showers :/ Overall a positive experience, wish we had more time to ride the horses!!!

Important Medicare Supplemental Insurance Information
Why supplemental medical insurance for Medicare is vitally important for all senior citizens.
Medicare provides a significant benefits for all seniors sixty-five years of age or older. Recent improvements, thanks to the Affordable Health Care Act, have made some improvements to the program that reduces the amount of out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare recipients. Even with these improvements, there are some medical costs that the basic Medicare program does not cover. This is the reason that supplemental medical insurance for Medicare is so important to every American senior citizen. Here are some details for you that will help explain why supplemental medical insurance for Medicare is something to seriously consider.
Four Parts of Medicare
Part A - Hospitalization Insurance helps pay for inpatient care at a hospital or nursing facility. In some cases home care or hospice services may be covered.
Part B - Medical Insurance helps pay for some doctor's services and other types of medical services, like lab work or supplies which are not covered by Part A.
Part C - Medicare Advantage Plans - This is the section where Medicare recipients can use a provider organization to perform Parts A & B of eligible services, such as a doctors network or HMO.
Part D - Prescription Drugs - This section of Medicare helps pay for most prescription drugs.
Notice that in the description for most of the various parts of Medicare it says "helps" with payment. That means there are areas, or gaps, that are not covered.

Dealing With Conflict Agendas Commerce Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Nowadays, skill and delicacy in dealing with conflict agendas and shifting power base is needed in the organization. In political organization, lasting relationships is important for continuation of greater political influence (Smith 2010). Effective politics isn't about winning at all costs but about maintaining relationships while achieving results. Although often portrayed negatively, organizational politics are not inherently bad. Instead, it's important to be aware of the potentially destructive aspects of organizational politics in order to minimize their negative effect. Of course, individuals within organizations can waste time overly engaging in political behavior. Research reported in HR Magazine found that managers waste 20% of their time managing politics. However, as Kotter (1985) wrote in Power and Influence, "Without political awareness and skill, we face the inevitable prospect of becoming immersed in bureaucratic infighting, parochial politics and destructive power struggles, which greatly retard organizational initiative, innovation, morale, and performance."
Organizations typically have limited resources that must be allocated in some way. Individuals and groups within the organization may disagree about how those resources should be allocated, so they may naturally seek to gain those resources for themselves or for their interest groups, which gives rise to organizational politics. Simply put, with organizational politics, individuals associate themselves with like-minded others in an effort to win the scarce resources. They'll engage in behavior typically seen in government organizations, such as bargaining, negotiating, alliance building, and resolving conflicting interests.
Politics are a part of organizational life, because organizations are made up of different interests that need to be aligned. In fact, 93% of managers surveyed reported that workplace politics exist in their organization, and 70% felt that in order to be successful, a person has to engage in politics. In the negative light, saying that someone is "political" generally stirs up images of back-room dealing, manipulation, or hidden agendas for personal gain (Gandz & Murray 1980). A person engaging in these types of political behaviors is said to be engaging in self-serving behavior that is not sanctioned by the organization (Harris et.al. 2005).
Examples of these self-serving behaviors include bypassing the chain of command to get approval for a special project, going through improper channels to obtain special favors, or lobbying high-level managers just before they make a promotion decision. These types of actions undermine fairness in the organization, because not everyone engages in politicking to meet their own objectives. Those who follow proper procedures often feel jealous and resentful because they perceive unfair distributions of the organization's resources, including rewards and recognition (Parker et.al. 1995).
Researchers have found that if employees think their organization is overly driven by politics, the employees are less committed to the organization. Have lower job satisfaction, perform worse on the job, have higher levels of job anxiety and have a higher incidence of depressed mood (Maslyn & Fedor 1998).
The negative side of organizational politics is more likely to flare up in times of organizational change or when there are difficult decisions to be made and a scarcity of resources that breeds competition among organizational groups. To minimize overly political behavior, company leaders can provide equal access to information, model collaborative behavior, and demonstrate that political maneuvering will not be rewarded or tolerated. Furthermore, leaders should encourage managers throughout the organization to provide high levels of feedback to employees about their performance. High levels of feedback reduce the perception of organizational politics and improve employee morale and work performance (Rosen et.al 2006). Remember that politics can be a healthy way to get things done within organizations.
Performance Management
The role of HR in the present scenario has undergone a sea change and its focus is on evolving such functional strategies which enable successful implementation of the major corporate strategies. In a way, HR and corporate strategies function in alignment. Today, HR works towards facilitating and improving the performance of the employees by building a conducive work environment and providing maximum opportunities to the employees for participating in organizational planning and decision making process. Today, all the major activities of HR are driven towards development of high performance leaders and fostering employee motivation. So, it can be interpreted that the role of HR has evolved from merely an appraiser to a facilitator and an enabler.
Linda (2003) describe performance management is the current buzzword and is the need in the current times of cut throat competition and the organizational battle for leadership. Performance management is a much broader and a complicated function of HR, as it encompasses activities such as joint goal setting, continuous progress review and frequent communication, feedback and coaching for improved performance, implementation of employee development programmes and rewarding achievements. The process of performance management starts with the joining of a new incumbent in a system and ends when an employee quits the organization. Performance management can be regarded as a systematic process by which the overall performance of an organization can be improved by improving the performance of individuals within a team framework. It is a means for promoting superior performance by communicating expectations, defining roles within a required competence framework and establishing achievable benchmarks.
According to Armstrong & Baron (2005), performance management is both a strategic and an integrated approach to delivering successful results in organizations by improving the performance and developing the capabilities of teams and individuals. The term performance management gained its popularity in early 1980's when total quality management programs received utmost importance for achievement of superior standards and quality performance. Tools such as job design, leadership development, training and reward system received an equal impetus along with the traditional performance appraisal process in the new comprehensive and a much wider framework. Performance management is an on-going communication process which is carried between the supervisors and the employees throughout the year. The process is very much cyclical and continuous in nature. A performance management system includes the following actions.
Developing clear job descriptions and employee performance plans which includes the key result areas (KRA') and performance indicators.
Selection of right set of people by implementing an appropriate selection process.
Negotiating requirements and performance standards for measuring the outcome and overall productivity against the predefined benchmarks.
Providing continuous coaching and feedback during the period of delivery of performance.
Identifying the training and development needs by measuring the outcomes achieved against the set standards and implementing effective development programs for improvement.
Holding quarterly performance development discussions and evaluating employee performance on the basis of performance plans.
Designing effective compensation and reward systems for recognizing those employees who excel in their jobs by achieving the set standards in accordance with the performance plans or rather exceed the performance benchmarks.
Providing promotional/career development support and guidance to the employees.
Performing exit interviews for understanding the cause of employee discontentment and thereafter exit from an organization.
A performance management process sets the platform for rewarding excellence by aligning individual employee accomplishments with the organization's mission and objectives and making the employee and the organization understand the importance of a specific job in realizing outcomes. By establishing clear performance expectations which includes results, actions and behaviours, it helps the employees in understanding what exactly is expected out of their jobs and setting of standards help in eliminating those jobs which are of no use any longer. Through regular feedback and coaching, it provides an advantage of diagnosing the problems at an early stage and taking corrective actions.
Systematic process of performance management
Performance management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.
Employee performance management includes:
planning work and setting expectations,
continually monitoring performance,
developing the capacity to perform,
periodically rating performance in a summary fashion, and
rewarding good performance.
In an effective organization, work is planned out in advance. Planning means setting performance expectations and goals for groups and individuals to channel their efforts toward achieving organizational objectives. Getting employees involved in the planning process will help them understand the goals of the organization, what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how well it should be done.
The regulatory requirements for planning employees' performance include establishing the elements and standards of their performance appraisal plans. Performance elements and standards should be measurable, understandable, verifiable, equitable, and achievable. Through critical elements, employees are held accountable as individuals for work assignments or responsibilities. Employee performance plans should be flexible so that they can be adjusted for changing program objectives and work requirements. When used effectively, these plans can be beneficial working documents that are discussed often, and not merely paperwork that is filed in a drawer and seen only when ratings of record are required.
In an effective organization, assignments and projects are monitored continually. Monitoring well means consistently measuring performance and providing on-going feedback to employees and work groups on their progress toward reaching their goals.
Regulatory requirements for monitoring performance include conducting progress reviews with employees where their performance is compared against their elements and standards. On-going monitoring provides the opportunity to check how well employees are meeting predetermined standards and to make changes to unrealistic or problematic standards. And by monitoring continually, unacceptable performance can be identified at any time during the appraisal period and assistance provided to address such performance rather than wait until the end of the period when summary rating levels are assigned.
To conclude, performance management can be regarded as a proactive system of managing employee performance for driving the individuals and the organizations towards desired performance and results. It's about striking a harmonious alignment between individual and organizational objectives for accomplishment of excellence in performance.
In an effective organization, employee developmental needs are evaluated and addressed. Developing in this instance means increasing the capacity to perform through training, giving assignments that introduce new skills or higher levels of responsibility, improving work processes, or other methods. Providing employees with training and developmental opportunities encourages good performance, strengthens job-related skills and competencies, and helps employees keep up with changes in the workplace, such as the introduction of new technology.
Carrying out the processes of performance management provides an excellent opportunity to identify developmental needs. During planning and monitoring of work, deficiencies in performance become evident and can be addressed. Areas for improving good performance also stand out, and action can be taken to help successful employees improve even further.
From time to time, organizations find it useful to summarize employee performance. This can be helpful for looking at and comparing performance over time or among various employees. Organizations need to know who their best performers are.
Within the context of formal performance appraisal requirements, rating means evaluating employee or group performance against the elements and standards in an employee's performance plan and assigning a summary rating of record. The rating of record is assigned according to procedures included in the organization's appraisal program. It is based on work performed during an entire appraisal period. The rating of record has a bearing on various other personnel actions, such as granting within-grade pay increases and determining additional retention service credit in a reduction in force. Although group performance may have an impact on an employee's summary rating, a rating of record is assigned only to an individual, not to a group.
In an effective organization, rewards are used well. Rewarding means recognizing employees, individually and as members of groups, for their performance and acknowledging their contributions to the agency's mission. A basic principle of effective management is that all behaviour is controlled by its consequences. Those consequences can and should be both formal and informal and both positive and negative.
Good performance is recognized without waiting for nominations for formal awards to be solicited. Recognition is an on-going, natural part of day-to-day experience. A lot of the actions that reward good performance - like saying "Thank you" - don't require a specific regulatory authority. Nonetheless, awards regulations provide a broad range of forms that more formal rewards can take, such as cash, time off, and many nonmonetary items. The regulations also cover a variety of contributions that can be rewarded, from suggestions to group accomplishments.
In effective organizations, managers and employees have been practicing good performance management naturally all their lives, executing each key component process well. Goals are set and work is planned routinely. Progress toward those goals is measured and employees get feedback. High standards are set, but care is also taken to develop the skills needed to reach them. Formal and informal rewards are used to recognize the behaviour and results that accomplish the mission. All five component processes working together and supporting each other achieve natural, effective performance management.
The politics of performance appraisal
Most of the managers seem to miss the point about the purpose of performance appraisals. They judge the person and not the employees' job performance. The purpose of evaluations can be instructional or motivational; however, it must be based on factual events and not subjective feelings. While managers sometimes fine-tune appraisals, thinking they are helping their employees, they are really hurting them because their feedback is not based on accurate accounts of his or her job performance. Effective feedback instructs when it points out areas for improvement and teaches new behaviour. Good performance evaluation feedback is motivational when it provides a reward or promises a reward.
Armstrong & Baron (2005), research shows that performance evaluations do result in using feedback to improve performance. Effective performance evaluations should be given more than once a year. Companies that only have annual performance evaluations are not giving employee feedback in a timely manner. Employees should be given a voice and participation in the evaluation to give two way exchanges instead of the evaluator just telling them the results. The evaluation should end with praise for excellence, goals accomplished, and new goals for the future.
The 360-degree
Contemporary companies implement a 360-degree approach in performance evaluations instead of the traditional top-down feedback program. Many firms are implementing a multisource program to provide a fairer, clear, and a more accurate performance evaluations program. Fleenor et.al (2008), the 360-degree approach is for employees to gather feedback from their peers, supervisors, and other managers that observe their day to day actions and score them on different metrics. This approach gathers different viewpoints. The argument with this is there is still not much research on this type of approach and it is not easy to implement in large organizations; however, more than ninety percent of fortune 1000 firms use some element of the 360-degree evaluation.
"Fine-tuning" evaluations
It is good to exercise good judgment when evaluating an employee. For example if the performance management firmware allows ranges, from five to six and the manager have observed and documented improvements in the employees' behaviour, then it would be permissible to give that employee a six on the performance appraisal. However, intentionally giving a bad score to an employee to send a negative message and not basing it on factual performance is unethical. On the other hand, fine-tuning a score because you feel the employee is improving or the manager wants to gain good favour is just as unethical. As leaders of an organization, there must be a focus on training managers in the area of performance evaluations. This is one of the main aspects of managing people: training staff, measuring performance, and providing feedback for improvement. Managers should be required to undergo certification for performance management firmware and should be evaluated during evaluations to ensure compliance.
Reduce the objective opinions and put into place a uniform performance management firmware that would provide a more objective approach in evaluating employees. I would allow exceptions where managers could provide documentation to give higher scores and comments in certain parts of the evaluations. It is important for firms to create better performance evaluation software that is user-friendly and reduces errors or mis-keyed information. There needs to be different metrics that the employee is judged on to identify employees' strong and weak areas. This software should allow users to make adjustments and add documentation or notes. For example, if the employee has dramatically improved his or her performance in the last quarter, the system should allow managers to take that into consideration and adjust the overall score of the performance and document the employees' improvement.
In conclusion, performance evaluations should be a tool managers can use to improve and run their business, not letting the performance evaluation run their business. Technology is the foundation of many firms that are successful today; however, technology shouldn't replace human experience, human relationships, good common sense and judgment. Performance evaluations should not be used solely as a record keeping tool or a means to distribute raises or promotions, but should be a tool to provide feedback to employees to improve their job performance. Successful organizations will strive to improve their performance evaluations and strive to find the best tool to measure their success in developing their employees.
Organizational politics
Organizational politics can be a nasty business where people promote their own self-interests at the expense of company goals. It can also be secretive, and it can cause us to doubt the intentions of other people. Self-serving political actions can negatively influence our social groupings, cooperation, information sharing, and many other organizational functions, but because of its secretive nature, politics is also experienced subjectively.
Organizational politics defined
Organizational politics can be described as self-serving and manipulative behaviour of individuals and groups to promote their self-interests at the expense of others, and sometimes even organizational goals as well. Organizational politics in a company manifests itself through struggle for resources, personal conflicts, competition for power and leadership and tactical influence executed by individuals and groups to attain power, building personal stature, controlling access to information, not revealing real intents and building coalitions.
Interplay between leadership, authority, influence and Employees
How organizational politics is related to leadership can be better understood from the fact that organizational leadership occurs in the context of groups, where followers are influenced by the leader to ensure their commitment and voluntary involvement towards predetermined outcomes.
Political climate of an organization is impacted by a leader through treatment and use of authority under different settings which is clearly visible during the acts of decision making, setting agenda and interaction with others to mobilize support, inspire teams and individuals and recognize people. This interplay between leaders and their authority & influence over the followers set the tone for political climate in an organization.
Understanding of organizations' political systems - key to success
Understanding of organizations' political systems is absolutely essential for leadership to maneuver the company towards the goals. Internally grown leaders will have an advantage of knowledge of general political conditions prevailing in the company (different coalitions and centers of influence which can create buy in or create road blocks). Leaders from outside must put efforts to learn and understand the existing organizational politics through keen observation and focused interaction with different groups of people. Some of the indicators available for leaders to assess political climate is general job satisfaction levels, responsiveness to innovative ideas, and efficacy of decision making machinery and speed of implementation of decisions. Understanding is the key for leaders to exploit and smother organizational politics and also to enhance their own leadership credibility.
Leveraging political understanding for advantage
Leaders use political leverage available to them under different situations in order to promote the organizational interests.
Once the understanding of organizational politics is gained leaders may use political leverage available to them under different situations in order to promote the organizational interests. Leaders exploit organizational politics even to graduate to leadership positions as potential leaders with proper political orientation may:
Time the opportunity to highlight their contribution
Ensure top management support for difficult decisions or initiatives
Make use of suitable persons (experts, consultants, experienced persons with right image) to put their point across
Show respect for hierarchy in spite of the hurdles that it may create
Also political acumen of leaders is put to test when dealing with aspects such as change management and crisis management. In such situations leaders need to quickly identify the group which is going to support them and build a strong coalition with counter strategies backed by overwhelming facts and reasons before the war begins thereby preempting a war. Also crucial at these times is the choice of the persons made responsible to fight the war (change agents or crisis management team) and how critical support is made available to them through subtle changes in organization structure and resource allocation.
Promoting progressive culture not politics
Indisputably, leaders are source of power, influence and hence politics in an organization. Since people have needs and leaders have the authority to fulfill these needs, those who fulfill the needs hold potential power. Leaders can to a great extent smother political climate having negative impact on the people attitudes and organization outcomes by aligning individual needs with organizational goals, in such a way that fulfillment of collective goals results in automatic fulfillment of individual needs also. Leaders must realize that organizational politics is a function of culture of trust in the organization, which is built through values of fairness and transparency. Fair play, justice and transparency in procedures and processes is key in creating an environment where organizational politics take back seat and a progressive culture is established which gives prominence to organizational goals through voluntary involvement of individuals. In other words, leaders must inspire people into action by creating clarity and unity of purpose and build synergies through organizational values.
Leadership and actions to reduce negative aspects of organizational politics
As a leader there are many actions that can be taken to reduce the negative aspects of organizational politics. Some of these actions include:
Define core values such as cross functional teamwork, trust and honesty and most important modelling these values.
Engage in discussions that focus on data and facts.
Focus on the problem or issue and not the person.
Ask questions that encourage employees to seek to truly understand the other person or teams perspective.
Raise contentious issues for open discussion.
Reinforce the need and establishing the practice of getting people to work horizontally solving problems and resolving conflict without having to escalate to higher levels.
Build a culture where there is open communication across multiple levels.
Provide training on effective conflict resolutions and effective interpersonal communication.
Avoid engaging in personal attacks and gossip.
Negative level of organizational politics can be minimized if leaders put more effort and thought into how:
People are treated
Information is communication
People with the right values and behaviours are put into roles of leadership and influence
Decisions are taken and problems / conflicts solved.
If each person put in a little more effort to reduce negative organizational politics the combined effect will result in a more cohesive, focus and productive workforce adding value to business.
Employees Overcoming the Politics of Self Protection
Simply put, politics in an organisation can be better understood as self-protection. Employees learn very early on in their careers that in order to survive the corporate world they need to watch out for themselves.
Many of us play the political game, defending our performance and actions to colleagues and managers in different ways. How we do this often depends largely on our level of emotional maturity and how much experience we have.
The most common forms of self-defence that employees engage in can be summarised into three areas: Avoidance, Redirecting Responsibility and Defending their Turf (Schermerhorn et.al. 2010).
Avoidance is quite common in organisations where employees are forced to work to an established set of rules and regulations where no amount of deviance to those rules is permissible. One of the most common forms of self-protection and avoidance of blame is when an employee 'plays dumb'.
"I didn't know the deadline had been moved' 'I wasn't aware that I was speeding, I thought the speed limit in this zone was 50mph."
Another form of avoidance or self-protection commonly seen in the world of corporate politics is 'depersonalisation'. This can be seen when a senior manager never has to 'fire' long term employees, but talks about the organisation merely being downsized or delayed.
The third form of avoidance is 'stalling' on a project. This occurs when an employee does not agree with an organisation's ideology or position. Stalling involves slowing down the pace of work to expand the task so that the individual looks like they are working hard. With creative stalling, an individual can look like they are supporting an organisation's ideology and position, but they are actually delaying implementation of changes they consider undesirable.
Redirecting Responsibility
Politically sensitive individuals will always protect themselves from accepting blame for any negative consequences of their actions. Again, a variety of well-worn techniques may be used for redirecting responsibility.
'Passing the buck' is a common method used by employees and managers (Christensen & Jack 1990). Many of us have experienced the ingenious methods in which individuals can redefine the task in such a way that it becomes someone else's responsibility. Another technique for redirecting responsibility is to blame ex-employees, employees that have been fired or outsiders.
3. Defending Turf
This is a time-honoured tradition in most organisations. It happens if an employee is vying for a promotion, or where a new employee tries to prove themselves to their manager. In an attempt to expand their levels of influence, they often encroach on the activities of other individuals or groups. So rather than co-operating, and supporting each other, individuals end up competing and organisational accomplishments may be compromised in the process.
It's important for managers to recognise these traits and mechanisms when managing their teams' performance, especially where employees have these forms of self-protection down to an art. If allowed to run rampant, politics can impact significantly on an organisation's performance levels. Implementing 360 degree feedback can be a strong driver for positive change in an organisation (Fleenor et.al, 2008).
Not everyone is created equal - of the same values, temperament, and personality and therefore to expect everyone to work harmoniously is quite impossible. We all are bound by bias and therefore Organizational politics is inevitable and to some extent, a person's performance in office is also dependent on how he/she handles organizational politics.
Organizational politics is not limited to how we get along with others but also entails how we behave and conduct our self so that we do not become a target for political performance issues.
Adhere to Code of Conduct
Every office has a code of conduct and it is imperative to ensure that all employees do not break it. Examples could range from taking advantage of travel and expense policies to more serious breaches, such as providing company confidential information.
In most cases, every company will have their employees sign a code of conduct as part of the employee contract. It will serve employee's well to be aware of what they have committed.
Focus on Work Attitude
Integrity, Reliability, Professionalism are three important virtues if we want to survive and succeed in the office environment. Managers are constantly evaluating and assessing their employees and where all else are equal, the person that goes the 'extra mile' when required and upholding the right work attitude will have a better performance appraisal and even chance of promotion.
Use Social Media Appropriately
Be mindful of the use of social media and communicating office related information using your facebook or twitter account. We may unwittingly be infringing office compliance as we are unknowingly providing information to customers or competitors regarding our company's business activities. The consequences can be serious, resulting in warning or termination in extreme cases (Loader & Mercea 2012).
Learn to Let Go!
At some point or other, we would have encountered colleagues who either knowingly or unknowingly said something to make us feel upset. If the matter is of insignificance, nor in any way threatens your work, the best way of handling is to let it go. Examples include comments or opinions versus actual facts. If the comment is work related and may potentially affect your performance appraisal, the best way is to raise this issue with your superior.
There is no point feeling bitter or even harbouring thoughts of revenge as these negative emotions will only affect your work performance.
Avoid Negative Influence
There are often people who are inherently negative or constantly 'complaining' of unfair treatment, bias-ness, etc. It would be wise to be around positive people instead as they generate positive energies and can sometimes provide a different perspective to our problems.
Positive or negative - politics happens. Mark Blitz (2010), the philosopher Plato said, "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." And this hold true today in the workplace: If you don't participate in the political game, you risk not having a say in what happens and allowing people with less experience, skill or knowledge to influence the decisions being made around you. Organizational politics are a fact of life.
