The game is to make those around you look good. Results may be a way to achieve that, but they are subordinate to making your boss and contacts look and feel good. The 'game' is that what works at the free-market business level (maximize profit) doesn't work at the authoritarian non-free-market employee level (i.e. you win by making those with social capital look good and winning this social capital).
