The Dobsons (also authors of Managing up! ) believe there doesn't have to be a contradiction between maintaining principles and taking part in the chess game of office politics. In fact, their guide maintains that being a principled person can make an employee more successful at the unspoken rules of political maneuvering that takes place among competing workplace interests and personalities. Chapters cover issues such as positive reasons for learning to play office politics; analyzing the other players; how to get and use power; finding role models and leadership; the art of negotiation; and the use of politics both in the everyday organization and as warfare.
