Sometimes-Dirty Tricks To Navigate a Job and Your Life, April 28, 2002
This review is from: Frontal Attack, Divide and Conquer, The Fait Accompli and 118 Other Tactics Managers Must Know (Hardcover)
This 1989 release is an updated version of Buskirk's book, "Handbook of Managerial Tactics", which was published in 1976. It's a very tactics-heavy book, offering dozens of ways to navigate and control situations in mainly work environs, but in life ones as well. Chockful of examples in a variety of situations, you'll not only uncover how you can manipulate situations, but why certain situations in your past may have unfolded the way they did against you. Some of the tactics seem a bit "dirty", but the author makes clear that such labels are mostly judgement calls, and no one is saying you have to use them...just know when they're being used against you.
An excellent book for managers and employees looking to climb the ladder, or just the usually quiet person at the family dinner table amidst generations of chaos. Navigate the rough waters to success at work and home with this lean, powerful tome.
