About this title

Synopsis

Most of us have experienced at some stage of our working lives the negative effects of office politics - from the seemingly harmless gossip in the corridor to the power plays of the boardroom. But you don't have to resort to playing the game to get ahead. This guide shows you how to: fast-track your career; build a great professional reputation; avoid getting tangled in complex political webs; deal effectively with a political attack; understand the political culture in your own workplace; nurture relationships that help your career to blossom; limit the damage when you make a mistake; and understand the behaviour of your colleagues.
