      Interesting read on office politics. Book replete with ideas and anecdotes on how to win power and excel at work place. A must read for professionals from Corporate World.

      A very practical book. It's advice and wisdom applying to business and politics alike.
    • 4/5
      In a nutshell, the meek will not inherit this world.
    • 2/5
      Robin Hanson's citation got me here. Uninmpressed. Short book, nothing new, Machiavellianism.
    • 4/5
      Great book about politics and influence in the workplace.
    • 3/5
      I usally like Pfeffer's stuff, but this one was a bit disappointing.
