The political purpose of building good relationships with superiors is to gain power to be favored and to be recommended for promotion and key assignments.
Thus, building good relationships is important because it helps create a positive, supportive work environment for yourself.
Good relationships can also be established with superiors for non-political purposes, such as, working in harmony to get the job done.
Forming alliances with your fellow coworkers is a strategy that helps increase your power in the workplace. You need the support of these people to get your work done.
Likewise, during evaluation, your coworker’s opinion of your performance counts heavily on your influence within the organization.
