I stay out of office politics by simply refusing to participate in it. I don't make my refusal obvious, but there is more than one way of conveying such a message.
I am EA to the CEO in my organization and as such am privy to all sorts of information, both from our staff and our Board of Directors. I know that a good many people talk to me in confidence about a lot of things. This may be because they want a "listening ear" or they want me to pass it on discreetly.
I am not my boss's "eyes and ears", nor does she expect me to take on that role, and I wouldn't do it. However, I do tell her things that I think she needs to know.
My approach to my role is: to be friendly, courteous and helpful to everyone (but not a doormat), but not familiar with anyone.
