The must-read guide to understanding corporate politics in order to get ahead

Designed to provide the reader with an understanding of corporate politics from a positive perspective, I Wish I'd Known That Earlier in My Career uses case studies to teach the essentials of organizational dynamics, power networks, and the decision-making processes and dilemmas involved in business.

Taking a refreshing new approach to workplace politics, the book presents new ways to think about embracing opportunities in order to achieve personal and organization-wide career satisfaction. Rather than encouraging employees to move on and start their own businesses, it instead details how to move up within their current companies by learning to understand power bases and conversation more thoroughly.

Each chapter tells a story that illustrates a constructive concept that can be easily learned and applied in the real world

Rezensionen
"If The White House Project has anything to do with it, millions of young women won't look back in retrospect to realize the lessons of this book after decades of believing the world is a meritocracy. Jane Horan has brilliantly captured one of the most important levers of leadership advancement--navigating the politics of any environment."
--Tiffany Dufu President, The White House Project

"The world of work is a self-interested world, and that means politics is always a factor. Jane Horan does a stunning job clarifying whats going on and what you need to see and take seriously. Her point: Politics is--neither good nor bad until you interact with them. She wants to help you make them a positive. After reading the advice she gives, I suggest you let her."
--Samuel A. Culbert Professor, UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Author (with Lawrence Rout) of Get Rid of the Performance Review: How Companies Can Stop Intimidating, Start Managing and Focus On What Really Matters

"Using her many experiences, Jane Horan has managed in this book to re-frame the way we think about politics--a critical yet undervalued leadership skill."
--Philippe Gas President and Chief Executive Officer, Euro Disney SAS

"Anyone working in an organization of more than one will benefit from this very readable book on "politics". Often a derogatory term, politics and the ability to understand and manage power is an important leadership skill essential to getting things done and reaching goals for any organization. Readers will enjoy the many case studies as they reflect on how they can improve their own interpersonal skills."
--Professor Steven J. DeKrey Senior Associate Dean and Director of Masters Programs, HKUST

"This book reveals what it means to be savvy within an organization so that employees can build an authentic and thriving career plan. More importantly, it motivates people to better align and sell their innovative ideas. This should be a required text in MBA programs."
--Drew Boyd Executive Director, MS-Marketing Program, and Assistant Professor-Educator of Marketing and Innovation, Carl H. Lindner College of Business, University of Cincinnati
