Product Description
Product Description
For any promising executive who wants to get to the top the sneaky way, this is the book. Learn how to get there without appearing to trample everyone underfoot. This kind of advice would stretch the budget of even those stratospheric members of the top flight, but we have persuaded this doyen of company politics to share their knowledge, accumulated over many years, that will allow the ambitious to reach their goal in the same way that Hilary did - quietly, effectively, deadly - and become, like Hilary, the Ninja of the corporate world. Read and enjoy Hilary's secrets, but don't tell anyone else about this book. Don't consult it openly; keep it locked away in your desk drawer. Then you can look forward to a long and fruitful career, at the expense of others.Hilary believes in the traditional definition of success: power and money. Every other definition has simply been invented by those who have money and power, to try and convince you that you don't want what they have already got. That's less competition for them. Don't fall for it. An old campaigner who has already risen to the top of the tree, Hilary has struck fear into the heart of a few, but most never realised who it was that derailed their career.
About the Author

Great Read,
By
This review is from: The Real Office: An Uncharacteristic Gesture of Magnanimity by Management Supremo Hilary Wilson-Savage (Paperback)
I loved this book, great to dip into on the plane, and just the right mix of clever observation, cunning little ideas and laugh at yourself bits. Great stuff. I have definitely worked with people like these, or in companies like these...and to honest I am probably a bit like these some of the people in the book too. Sad but true. Get this book it's light and easy to get on with.

A Useful Tool,
By Diana Frankland (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Real Office: An Uncharacteristic Gesture of Magnanimity by Management Supremo Hilary Wilson-Savage (Paperback)
This book is amazing - I'm utterly convinced that the writer must have worked at some of the places where I've had the misfortune to be employed, as some of the descriptions of the type of people she's encountered are spookily similar! I originally thought it was just going to be another `How to Succeed' type book, but it's actually quite amusing as well as being useful. Right now I'm anguishing over whether I might be as awful as some of the characters she writes about, but am positive I'm far superior to them...(of course). I really enjoyed reading the book (with a wry smile on my face) and have copied some of the terms and tactics to put to good use in my present employment. I'll keep referring to it as situations arise but just wish I'd discovered something like it years ago!
