A must read to understand office dynamics!
| Customer Rating: | On the recommendation of a collegue, I purchased this book because I was interested to know whether guidance existed as to how to 'play the game' that is workplace politics. So far, I haven't been disappointed!
As you work your way through this book you find that you are able to relate the examples presented in the text to the experiences your have had throughout your working life and a lot of things suddenly become clear. Understanding what real power is in the work place, how it can be gained and lost and more importantly - how it can be utilised, will change my behaviour around the office in so many ways. It's funny, I now see 'political suicide' by my peers which basically mirror the examples portrayed within this book and I often can't help but chuckle. =)
It has been an enlightening experience reading through this book, and it has been a real pleasure given it is written in a way that is easy to read and keeps you engaged (unlike a few other texts I have read lately which seem to be about authors trying their best to use as many obscure and uncommon words as possible to show how clever they are).
In summary, I firmly believe this book has changed they way I will approach my working life (and in some respects even my personal life) so that I can maximise my chances of achieving my goals and being successful. Give it a go - I'm sure it will do the same for you! |
Politial Intelligence. We all deserve a little!
| Customer Rating:  | This book has changed my work life for the better. I feel more comfortable at work now because I have more realistic expectations and I feel prepared for difficult 'office politics' situations. The book is interesting and offers real-life situations that I can relate to.
Pretty much everyone has to contend with Office Politics in their job at some point or other. It often doesnt matter who is wrong and who is right in offices, but how a situation is handled. Can you think of a time when you know you should have handled a situation differently, but are unsure what you should have done? Can you think of a time when you lost leverage because of your own actions? Be honest. We all have shot ourselves in the foot. Why stay ignorant? Come into the light!
I love this book. My sister cant wait to read it after I'm done.

A "must read" for every professional!
| Customer Rating: | | I read this book before staring my new job. I feel more prepared than ever for what I need to do to be successful. This book was so thorough and content-rich, I put tabs in it and carry it with me to work . . . just in case I need to reference something or need a "refresher course". I recommend this book for seasoned professionals as well as those just entering the workforce! |
