The Modern Machiavelli: Power and Influence at Work

Beware the modern Machiavelli! We all know them. The sly ones. The cunning. The manipulative. Like the court of the 16th century Medici, the modern workplace provides a wealth of opportunities for the ambitious and unscrupulous. "THE MODERN MACHIAVELLI" shows how the principles of power described in Machiavelli's classic, The Prince, are equally evident in today's business world. Through its entertaining narrative of one man's quest to find the secret to achieving ultimate power, this book arms you, the reader, with an understanding of what drives people in their work behaviours - how people seek and achieve power. "THE MODERN MACHIAVELLI" is for anyone who works in an organisation - and anyone who's exposed to organisational politics. For those who seek power, it explains the rules of the game. For those who hope to influence the powerful, it offers insight into their psychology. And for those who work for powerful leaders, it offers the protection of Machiavelli's wisdom. You'll never look at your colleagues in the same way again! This paperback copy is presented in Good condition, ready to offer insights into the complex world of power dynamics.
