Absolutely.
"Politics" is nothing more complex than manipulating people and situations to advance an agenda. If your methods are positive, and your agenda is positive, you have "Positive" politics.
Example:
"Hey, Bob (new sales guy). I hear you're meeting with Bill at XYZ
Corp next week. Did you know he was the customer who came up with the
RazzMataz feature idea on our Multi-Dimensional Widget product line?
You should take Steve (engineer) with you, as he's the specialist on
that feature."
"Hey Sara (Boss) - I asked Bob to take Steve with him to see XYZ Corp
next week, since XYZ Corp really uses the feature Steve made last year. BTW -
Steve hasn't had a raise in a while. Is there anything we can do for
him?"
With that little maneuver, you got the new sales guy to "owe you one," you got a good bit of recognition for one of your team (which pays off big, later), and maybe even set the stage for one of your team getting a raise.
You now have two people who are grateful for your efforts, and a boss who knows you aren't a credit hog. That's building political capital that you may need, later.
