Description: In today's organizations, career success depends more on political skill-the ability to influence, motivate, and win support from others-than on almost any other characteristic. Political Skill at Work delivers the "how" to influence at work, not just the "what"--Publisher's website.
Review Quotes: "Getting along with others is a basic key to success-and happiness. When people are high on this dimension (termed political skill by the authors), all doors (opportunities) are open; when they are low, the opposite may be true-important routes to success are closed. Political skill is invaluable in many different contexts, from building a career in an organization, to starting a new company and making it a success. The authors are outstanding researchers and true experts concerning political skill, so this new edition is certain to be even more informative and more valuable than the first edition. A 'must read' for people in many different fields."--?Robert A. Baron, Regents Professor, Oklahoma State University
