As I'm struggling with office politics on a daily basis, this book really gives me a brand new perspective on how to deal with those "black art" experts and get ahead of the game without being acting like them. I would encourage anyone who is frustrated with office politics to read this book.
A must read for career 'starters' and 'long termers' alike!

As an IT Business Manager who has worked in the UK, the US and Australasia, I was surprised at how little I really understood about politics in the various environments in which I have worked. The book 'Positive Politics' enabled me to step back and, for the first time, come to understand that there are clear signs and indications that can be read, interpreted and used to improve the way you and those around you operate. The author, Mark Holden, uses simple, clear and easy to understand examples and case studies to present his ideas. This book will now take a permanent place on my office bookshelf!

This book is both insightful and inspiring. It offers a new perspective on office politics - how to make it work for you! It is clear that the author has experience in the game of office politics, and provides some very real (and recognizable) examples. A good read and a highly recommended survival guide to all!
A must for all people who work with other people!

Positive Politics is an invaluable guide to avoiding and overcoming the inevitable problems associated with human interactions in the workforce. Mark Holden has provided a defining work on the growing concerns of negative politics interplayed with human behaviour, and also sets out guidelines for creating professional reputations and a positive political environment. This well set out and easy to read and follow text confirms Holden's standing as one of Australia's leading authorities on workplace interrelations and corporate management.
