When in Rome, do as the Romans Do

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is a well-known ancient proverb that advises when visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it. The framework for joining a new team is not much different, but what happens when the customs encourage both the negative and positive side of the organization political model? Individuals can decide to participate, manage the situation, or bow out gracefully.
