The ability to influence and motivate others is key not only to individual but also to organizational success. This is the essence of political skill - and everyone wants more of it. But what do we know about how it really works? Political Skill at Work is the first thorough examination of an ability that is as subtle as it is powerful. The result of more than 15 years of research, this well-documented study is rich with examples of individuals using political skill to succeed in the corporate world, government, education, and sports. Combining scholarship with practical advice, the authors explore whatpolitical skill is (and isn't), why and how it works, and how it can be measured and developed.
