: Business / Organizational Behavior / Workplace Culture / Corporate Governance
Colorado Mountain ColThis book examines the subtle and overt “games” — i.e. political maneuvering, manipulative behaviors, rumor‑making, and accountability‑shifting — that often undermine productivity and trust in organizations. The authors identify common “office games,” explain why they arise (pressure, ambiguity, competition, organizational structure), and describe a step‑by‑step process (Awakening → Choice → Execution) that individuals and leaders can follow to recognize, confront, and reduce office politics. Through real‑world examples and practical guidance, the book aims to help organizations replace destructive politics with transparency, honesty, and mutual respect—improving performance, culture, and employee well‑being.
