Summary: A must read for career 'starters' and 'long termers' alike!
Comment: 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!
Rating: 5
Summary: A real life saver!
Comment: 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.
Rating: 2
Summary: Only for starters
Comment: The ideas presented although sound are just too brief. For folks who have been working for years one can quote probably countless more scenarios that are left unexplored.
For example, the topic of backstabbing was just touched within a solitary chapter near the end of the book. The fact is, the general rule still applies irregardless of whether one buys this book or not, 1) build a rock solid foundation, build your reputation and keep to your end of the bargain. Which is good and hard honest work. Unfortunately, that cant keep you alive in a politically rife environment.
So identifying a political mindfield is just half of the battle. The next battle is, how to convince your peers to see the bigger picture and work towards a win/win situation where everyone succeeds. For a book entitled Positive Politics this area was never even mentioned.
I'm giving it 2 stars, cause it's not worth the money I've paid for it, the book lacks depth.
