Synopsis

Politics play a central role in all organizations but to this point they have largely been seen as a negative force. David Butcher and Martin Clarke expose this as a misunderstanding and show how political behavior is entirely endemic to managerial activity and how understanding and managing it can have extremely powerful positive effects. They provide an approach to managing politics by balancing personal and organizational interests and show how the centrality of politics to organizational life make it the ideal place from which to change existing patterns of power and influence. Essential reading for directors and senior managers.
