Cannot stop listening

The writing and the reading are so intriguing that I finish it in 2 days

Well worth your time. Wish I’d read it 20’years ago.

This book provides a clear direction through the office politics maze.

It teaches you things to help you not get in the way of your own success.

Highly recommended.

Spot on Guidance for Navigating Corporate Politics

Having both been an individual contributor and a manager at several levels all the way to Sr. Management, I can attest that this is an excellent guide. Mary McIntyre brings decades of 'evaluated experience' to the subject, coupled with anecdotes and self evaluation scorecards along the way that help you assess where you currently are and what you can do to improve. This is information that I find lacking in today's HR organizations. Good book, I highly recommend it.

Worth your time!

I've been battling office politics for a long time now and think the author hits the nail on the head with this book. While a bit tacky or dramatic at times, it's full of great insight and worth the time and attention of anyone who must engage in politics (hint: that's everyone who has a job!).

Amazing!

This audible hit the nail on the head with every example given. It was like the author tapped into my life and gave me a new refreshed perspective on processing politcs in the work place
