Survival of the Savvy

Rick Brandon, Marty Seldman

Being good at your job isn't always enough — organizational savvy matters too. This book teaches high-integrity political skill, distinct from manipulation, as a genuine career necessity.

A guide to high-integrity political tactics for career success, drawing a sharp line between genuine, ethical political skill and self-serving manipulation, and arguing that avoiding organizational politics altogether often costs good people the opportunities they've genuinely earned.
