If someone has done something that helped you send out an email to group or at least to co-workers manager and point it out. You will make the other person look good and you will benefit from future willingness to help you. Another great way is to promote the success of the others.

Usually, it is hard not to take sides as well, as one would want a groups of friends or people that he/ she can trust.

I have used a lot of these - kind of common sense. If you fine that you need more detailed information, check out this book, Working with You Is Killing Me by Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster. I found it to be helpful; I hope you do as well. These are general but good advice. I have used a lot of these - kind of common sense.

I use many of these strategies not just because they work in the workplace, but many of them work in life.
