Office politics - Oliver James

A fascinating expos 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 expos,
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.

He then divulges
strategies and techniques for not only surviving but thriving in these
difficult environments. With the right mindset, you can distinguish and
deal with toxic and overpromoted colleagues, charm your way through
interviews and use office politics to your advantage.

Office Politics will overthrow your perceptions of office life and set you on a new path to success.

Oliver James trained and practised as a child clinical psychologist and,
since 1988, has worked as a writer, journalist and television
documentary producer and presenter. His books include Juvenile Violence in a Winner-Loser Culture, the bestselling They F*** You Up, Affluenza and Contented Dementia. He is a trustee of two children's charities: the National Family and Parenting Institute and Homestart.
