Part of a series of books featuring short, concrete action steps one can take in the workplace to work smarter, more efficiently, and with less conflict, this book is a compilation of short chapters. Each chapter - none more than a dozen pages in length - features plain talk and strategic advice for avoiding or ameliorating the pitfalls of office politics, from credit-taking bosses to minimally-contributing colleagues. Later chapters focus more broadly on constructive conflict management, developing professional alliances, and having difficult conversations. Best-suited to new professionals or those moving into new responsibilities. Recommended. (202)… (mehr)
