Synopsis
Ever notice how some office memos say one thing and mean another? How some promotions are actually a career step backwards? Or how the guy without the tie at the board meetings is invariably the only one who makes sense? The real world of business is full of suprising quirks and contradictions - to suceed, sometimes your only option is to accept things as they are and play along with the game. Here is a practical guide to the unofficial rules and ways of business - a witty, irreverent book that can help you develop corporate savvy even as you adjust to the day-to-day ropes of organizational life. Here is how to interpret the myths, symbols and rituals that constitute everyday corporate culture - and use them to your best advantage.
