This is a terrific book.

This is a terrific book. The author shines with intelligence and wisdom. I wish I would have had this book to refer to before I gave up on office politics and problems with my boss and quit my job at a major corporation.
Excellent book on preventing problems in the workplace

This book is an informative guide on typical "people" job problems, and how use that to excel in your career. Every one of the 10 issues, ranging from office politics, your boss, and goals, is explained in a straightfoward, easy to understand way. Additionally, solutions are provided to keep this from happening to you in your current/future job. After reading this book (too late), I profoundly realized why things at my past employer went bad - and how to prevent that from happening again. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone starting a new job, particularly younger professionals in any field, and anyone who can't understand their current job problems. It's on my bookshelf at work.
Clear, helpful advice on avoiding workplace pitfalls.

This book is billed as a how-to on avoiding career mistakes, and it is, but even more than that it's full of good advice on how to get along at work. Not so much how to get to the executive suite as how to avoid getting a bad reputation, getting stuck in a dead-end situation, misplaying office politics, alienating your boss, etc. In other words, the everyday concerns that can make work life hell or cause an unwanted separation. The author's advice is always down-to-earth and honest, and often imbued with real wisdom. I learned a lot about my own checkered career (too late, perhaps!) and would recommend this to anyone who wishes things could be better on the job -- and is willing to admit that the responsibility for change rests with himself/herself.
