Customer Reviews

A must read for everybody

This may be a life changing book. The rules are simple. Do not try the unusual to get ahead. Be extremely good at your work and follow the conventions of the workplace. Advancement most often takes time, is not a quick jump up the ladder by calling attention to yourself.

The real story of how to get ahead

This book is an unknown classic. It tells the real way to get ahead in a large bureaucracy. Most of the Tom Peters type books on success in business deal with the 2 percent of companies that are run by a great, innovative leader. The other 98% are the real world in which many frustrated managers create mini-fiefdoms where they yield power and stifle productivity. This book is funny but it provides real insights into how to navigate up the ladder of business. I have a MBA and have read many of the top inspirational business books and this is the best, most practical book on how to get ahead in the real world that I have read. It is a one of a kind, I strongly recommend it. The author is a Ph.D who worked for the Ford Motor Company. Very funny.
