Synopses & Reviews
A handbook of managerial tactics, this book lays out every trick in the proverbial book to provide managers with their most important tool: knowledge. Introduces tactical thinking and provides insights into some of the common, though not often discussed, tactics in management. Discusses everything from sandbagging to steamrolling, shows you how to aim at weakness, find a fall guy, pour oil on troubled waters, leave well-enough alone, hitch a lie to the truth, capitalize on defeat, and even how to keep quiet.
