Book Description

All too often, Machiavellian managers ruthlessly use office politics to get what they want...and they make good employees feel it's bad to be political. But it doesn't have to be that way!

ENLIGHTENED OFFICE POLITICS takes a positive look at the political side of the workplace, explaining why office politics are inevitable, emphasizing their importance, and showing how to play them--and win--in an ethical, principled manner. Readers will learn how to:

* Overcome negative attitudes toward office politics and view them as a force for good * Determine whether a coworker is friend or foe * Turn foes into friends * Discover what motivates others * Develop their own political skills and use them in appropriate, powerful ways * Plan and execute an effective "political campaign"--and more.

In the world of office politics, it's play or be played. ENLIGHTENED OFFICE POLITICS proves it's possible to play to win--and still keep a clear conscience.

Excellent Read and Well Written. A Must for recent college .......2005-06-20

I really enjoyed this book. The strategies and concepts can easily be applied to any workplace environment since corporate politics exist everywhere in any business and these traits are not learned in a classroom setting. They must be practiced and perfected over time and this book will assist you in developing your corporate political traits.

An ethical Machiavelli that's moral yet realistic.......2003-02-22

What distinguishes this book from the competition is the authors' commitment to an ethical, principled approach to the political game, which I found to be refreshing and positive. So often, the choice is presented as "stop worrying about being nice and get out there and win!" Instead, the Dobsons show why having principles, being honest, and treating others with dignity and respect can be a source of political strength and effective results, and why the archetypical Machiavellian office politician often comes to a bad end.

The second quality of this book I liked was its emphasis on how to adapt its general guidelines to your specific situations, which it did through a series of exercises, questionnaires, and worksheets. They took some serious effort on my part to complete, because they were quite challenging. I had to think through my own goals, the goals of other people, and the circumstances that described my office environment. At the end, however, I felt that I had a much clearer picture of what was going on, why it was going on, and what I could do about it. I would definitely encourage you to invest time in the exercises.

The third quality of the book that appealed to me was the easy and personal writing style. The Dobsons have a warm, intimate conversational tone, and I felt that they explained clearly and effectively how organizations worked, where politics fit into the picture, and how you could turn it into a positive force on behalf of your goals.

In a world where cynicism and power hunger drives people toward short-term gain, it is heartening to see a potentially negative topic such as office politics treated as a positive, ethical, and potentially uplifting force. I recommend this book.

Get to the point..........2001-10-31

...is what the authors needed to do with this painfully extensive book. Having now read the book in its entirety, I can still say that it contains little useful information and the useful information it does have seems to be buried and scattered throughout the book. One problem is that the length of many chapters (one chapter clocks in at roughly 60 pages) make them difficult to read in one setting, if you have a shorter attention span, or for that matter, a life. This could create a problem as stopping in the middle of a chapter and picking back up with it later may be counter-productive. There is lots of good information presented, it would have just been nicer to have it broken down into smaller chunks.

CAREER SURVIVAL TIPS!.......2001-07-03

What are the forces in the workplace that can make or break your career? How can one deal effectively with situations ranging from water-cooler chats to conferences in your boss' office? How can one navigate more smoothly office politics and power plays? What is the difference between lying and spin-doctoring? These are some of the questions authors Michael and Deborah Dobson attempt to answer in this book which is loaded with career survival tips. Here are a few of their postulates: "Deal with the way things are, not the way you think they ought to be"; "Live your principles and life, not everyone else's"; "Be honest, or be quiet"; "Respect those who oppose you".Read the book, and step more confidently over those subtle and not so subtle traps in the corporate battle arena. The book illustrates much of what you may encounter, and is a helpful tool in preparing you for those experiences. After reading this book, continue your enlightenment with, "How To Master Change in Your Life" by Mary Carroll Moore. Both books contain practical and timely information.

Book Description

Hank Greenberg, a special man with an independent spirit, was the first Jewish ballplayer to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Greenberg was a legend in many Jewish households in the 1930s and '40s. His powerful home runs hit during those years were sometimes a dramatic reply to Nazi actions in Europe and to anti-Jewish sentiment in America.

Ira Berkow's stimulating biography will inspire young readers to look at their own conduct and sportsmanship towards others and discover the meaning of standing tall.

A Perfect Three-Dollar Book.......2002-03-17

You couldn't ask more of a book that fits into a shirt pocket. Thousands of entries with pronunciations, dates, and even parts of speech. For instance, if you might want to describe someone as Comtian, then you'll not only know what Comte did and when he did it, but you'll also know how to spell the adjective. History is swarming with too many figures to remember; it's nice to have them all handy. Did I mention how cheap the book is?

The cornerstone of this unique book is the Humanitarian Charter, which is based on the principles and provisions of international humanitarian, human rights, and refugee law, and on the principles of the Red Cross, Red Crescent, and the NGO Code of Conduct. It describes the core principles that govern humanitarian action and asserts the right of
populations to protection and assistance. The Charter is followed by minimum standards in five core sectors - water supply and sanitation, nutrition, food aid, shelter and site planning, and health services.

A pesar de su sordera no dejó de trabajar con tesón y paciencia con el ánimo de trascender las barreras del tiempo. Hoy se puede afirmar que su esfuerzo no fue en vano.
