How to play office politics without being played out

Have you ever asked yourself the question Are office politics really that bad? and found yourself answering Yes! Well, perhaps then this is the book for you. Dr. Mike Teng, author of a best-selling book "Corporate Turnaround: Nursing a sick company back to health" creates a unique and delightful view into the world of office politics. He vividly illustrates how we can refocus our energies from viewing office politics as a bad thing provided those same politics are played fairly and as a part of life and natural!
Dr. Teng leads us through a discussion on how the animal world is rife with office politics and creates windows into the animal world through which we can see how they react to the same situations we find in the concrete jungle. By pointing out such realities as The animals play politics as a way of life to survive in the jungle and If they get played out, it may mean ending up as a meal for other animals; Dr. Teng creates a vivid caricature of the similarities between the animals and the corporate world. By making these comparisons to the animal world, the author sheds new light on an old subject and provides us with additional tools to succeed in our offices.
Also, with the global recession, many jobs are going to be lost, and our concrete jungle is quickly becoming a true struggle for survival of the fittest. Under these conditions, good performance, creativity, effectiveness and efficiency are mandatory requirements for you to keep your job. One also needs to learn survival skills. By learning from the animals which meet crisis frequently and observing how they play without being played out, we can increase our own ability to survive in the concrete jungle. One of the important survival skills is learning how to handle office politics.
