The Office Politics Handbook - Winning the Game of Power and Politics at Work, 2013 Edition

Author: Jack Godwin

The Office Politics Handbook is for business executives, managers, consultants, lawyers, agents, editors, and anyone who wants to become more politically astute, more powerful, and more successful. This is not a book on political game playing it is for people who hate power games but who know that politics takes place in every organization and want to make sure they wind up on top of the heap...not at the bottom of the barrel.

This book will explain why people are political animals, and why they engage in power-seeking behavior. It will also discuss different instruments of power to help you understand the cultural and collective forces at work in human nature, and the occasionally aggressive characteristics of the political animal.

The Office Politics Handbook will show you how to:

- Cultivate your political skill
- Exercise power beyond your place in the organizational chart
- Defend yourself against political attacks
- Know when to fight, when to retreat, and when to lead
