Synopsis

Hidden Rules of Class at Work takes a look at how economic class influences - often subtly yet significantly - behaviors that show up in the workplace and an understanding of how the levels of an organization reflect the hidden rules of class.

Written for people who supervise others, the book provides tools to identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses by looking at his/her resources and an understanding of how economic class influences opportunities to develop resources. It is based on a research study by the authors on the correlation between an individual's resources and his/her promotion and success in the workplace. Each chapter gives the correlates and provides some practical answers as to how to use the information. More eye-opening learning from aha! Process. Inc.
