Industry Reviews

"To help people learn how to use office politics to get things done rather than merely suffer as the victim of the machinations of others, Harvard Business Review Press has just published HBR Guide to Office Politics by Karen Dillon." -- Vedomosti "Office politics might sound a somewhat throwaway knockabout topic for such an esteemed set of guides but as former Harvard Business Review editor Karen Dillon demonstrates, it's deadly serious. Her guide tackles common quandaries, from an over-controlling manager to a bullying colleague, employing real, practical advice rather than pop psychology, and her guidance on effective conflict management techniques is as sound as you'll read anywhere." -- People Management (UK) "The tagline to HBR Guide to Office Politics is "Rise above rivalry, Avoid power games, Build better relationships." It offers dozens of really useful tips to help us do exactly that." -- MindTools (mindtools.com)
