Summary
"This first comprehensive examination of political skill in the workplace integrates more than fifteen years of research in many different organizations. The authors examine how political skill works, how it can influence organizations, how it differs from intelligence and other characteristics, how it can be measured using their Political Skill Inventory, and how it can be enhanced. Real-life examples from business, politics, education, and sports vividly illustrate political skill in action. This well-documented book is especially important for managers, leaders, and anyone interested in human resource and organization development."--BOOK JACKET.
