If you're style is to lie, cheat and steal, this is your guide. If you're subtle (e.g., lie by omission, cheat by being unfair), you'll find a kindred spirit in the authors. This is a book for the unprincipled.And, as valuable as office politics is (and there I agree with the author...just not her style), this book will offer you no principles for understanding it or playing the Office Game. What you'll get are cleverly written anecdotes of how Ronna one-upped somebody, or stories she relates (or made up; given her principles, I'd suspect the latter) that happened to others.Finally, the book shows a grinning author seated at the head of the conference table...all alone. How appropriate!
