- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book about politics and influence in the workplace.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I usally like Pfeffer's stuff, but this one was a bit disappointing.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Robin Hanson's citation got me here. Uninmpressed. Short book, nothing new, Machiavellianism.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5He could've condensed the key takeaways into a PowerPoint Slide. Book was full of long and rambling examples supporting some very basic key takeaways. I got super bored throughout most of the book. Wish I'd just read the cliff notes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book, full of sound ideas and useful information that everyone must know.
