Many professionals believe that office politics are something to be avoided - messy, manipulative, and beneath them. But in reality, if you don't do politics, politics will do you.
In this practical and insightful book, leadership expert Niven Postma reframes political intelligence as a crucial skill for anyone who wants to navigate complex workplaces with integrity and effectiveness. Drawing on real-world experience from corporate boardrooms to leadership classrooms, Niven shows how understanding power, influence, and relationships can help you get things done - without compromising who you are.
Combining sharp analysis, relatable stories, and actionable frameworks, this book helps readers learn to read the room, build political capital, and lead with purpose.
