A fascinating exposé of office culture, in the style of the bestselling Affluenza, from popular psychologist Oliver James.
The modern working world is a dangerous place, where game-playing, duplicity and sheer malevolence are rife. Do talent and hard work count for nothing? Is politics everything?
In this fascinating exposé, Oliver James reveals the murky underside of modern office life. With cutting-edge research and eye-opening interviews, he highlights the nasty practices that propel people to the top and shows how industries and cultures are fostering this behaviour.
Staff Review:
A good read for every worker, not just in air-conditioned office, on-sites, mobile offices, factories, etc. Get to know your neighbors in next cubicles is easy to understand classification based on three categories, and how to deal with such people. In the first part you will be introduced to these people and explore them, examine what make them react the way they do. The second part is on office politics and how to deal with it. Understand office politics better instead of labeling it as abomination would make you kind of embracing and happily living with it. It is part of our life anyway!
