Ratings and reviews

Downloaded over 30+ Google play audiobooks. This is in my top two for office politics - other one being "never split the difference" by Voss.. This book is like having a coach behind you with detailed advice for every scenario. I'm seriously, very impressed with this book. It met and then exceeded expectation.
