    Some realpolitik here. I can’t say I thrived on this energy but I was curious, it was

    fascinating to look at, and some of it rang true. It depends on what you’re looking

    for. If you’re pursuing work in a super-competitive field in business, it has some

    words to the wise.

    This is a clearly written, no-nonsense book about politics in a work environment. It is written with women in mind, because they are relatively new to many workplace environments, but its advice is excellent for men as well. Choose this book for a much higher than average ratio of good advice to filler!

    This practical book discusses one of the sad realities of business: Often, competent people do not get promoted, because they lack political intelligence. In their place, less capable people ascend into executive suites simply because they have developed business intelligence, and know how to use the politics that exist inside any organization. That’s why many people rightfully think that “who you know, not what you know” determines career success. Kathleen Kelley Reardon can put you in the right place at the right time and in the right vice president’s office by helping you become more politically savvy. getAbstract highly recommends this very readable book to those who want to advance, especially politically innocent people entering the business world.

    Like the “Secret Handshake” book, this book is all about interpersonal relationships and succeeding in them–without losing your career, your integrity or your soul! Both should be a “must read” for leaders and managers, alike.

    Being good in office politics, I often read new books on this subject. I’ve learnt that the best way to get people on one’s side is to be honest, sincere an open to others. This woman teaches about being manipulative, playing status games, being rude and calls it “good political skills”.

    It’s hardly believable.
