Rules of Office Politics Book

With advice on confronting unavoidable political situations and vanquishing the efforts of Machiavellian coworkers, this manual provides resources for navigating the lying, cheating, manipulating, conniving, backstabbing, and schmoozing sea typical of office environments. Not merely for devious and manipulative workers looking to further their own careers, office politics is redefined as a tool that can be used effectively as a means to influence others in the workplace positively, so that managers, executives, consultants, and young professionals new to the workplace can learn to better themselves as well as the organizations for which they work.
