I needed this book 6 years ago!

I am off to buy a physical copy! Life changing information. This book should be part of standard curriculum at school! As a parent I plan and raising my children with these tips to prepare them for the work. Really opened my eyes to the reality of the workplace.

Every worker should read this book

Excellent book as Author analysed office politics from multiple angles. It is clearly & well explained with real/realistic examples which one can easily relay to. While the negative side of politics is well known, she made me realised politics could help collaboration and balance the society if used genuinely with the right mind set. I hope the Author would write a version for teenagers. May be “Secrets to Winning at School Politics”?
