Story
Drawing on interviews with executives from Fortune 500 companies, Kathleen Kelley Reardon has compiled essential advice on how to break into the inner circle of power at the top of the corporate ladder. Many books cover practical business knowledge, but few address the issue of interpersonal skills. The ever-changing circle of power within a corporation may not necessarily follow the same guidelines it publicly professes. The most talented employee isn't always the one promoted; there is an intangible quality the upper echelon look for.

Must read for anyone entering work force
Great book. I wish I read something like this when I got my first job in high school. For some people navigating work place politics comes naturally, but many of us don't have that skill and have to learn it. I love how the author says at the beginning of the book that work politics is kind of like sex. Everyone is doing it but no one is talking about it. One person may think that their coworker is sucking up to the boss, but when they are being nice to the boss, they consider that "networking" not sucking up. I gave it 4 stars overall as I think that the book could have been a little shorter and few parts/lessons are repetitive. However, great read and I highly recommend it.

Worth your time!
I've been battling office politics for a long time now and think the author hits the nail on the head with this book. While a bit tacky or dramatic at times, it's full of great insight and worth the time and attention of anyone who must engage in politics (hint: that's everyone who has a job!).

Matter of fact, straight and to the point.
A detailed analysis on the types of behavior you find in the work place and the strategies your can use to increase your influence, leverage, and as a result, political power.

horrible
You know your in trouble when they start with a 10 minute rant of made up professional skills and experiences knowones ever heard of. The use obsure words in order to make you think they're smart. Very very superficial advice from someone that never worked a normal job like 99% of us.

OK Book for fundamentals
There's a lot of good info on this book. But I can tell from experience many scenarios are far from reality. I don't think it provides enough hints for professionals working in a heavily political enterprise.
