also for employees seeking growth in complex organizations.
Goldstein and Read dissect the interpersonal dynamics that affect a
company's performance, provide a framework to understand the games
that are commonly played in businesses around the world, and offer
practical tools to correct these behaviors and improve the
organization's effectiveness."
--Jacopo Bracco, executive vice president, DIRECTV Latin America

help you uncover the games that are going on around you and in your
organization and will arm you with strategies to combat the
negative effects of these games."
--Corey J. Seitz, vice president, global talent management, Johnson

"This book is a good warning sign for organizational life. A
road map of potholes and wrong turns. Written in a clear and
down-to-earth way, its strength is its concreteness."
--Peter Block, author, "Community: The Structure of Belonging"
"Play or don't play, your choice. But if you need to manage and
aspire to lead, you must read Goldstein and Read's helpful
treatment of the games going on all around you all the time.
Prepare to be entertained and disconcerted in equal measure."

Every working person who has ever been a victim or perpetrator of
political games will profit from reading Games at Work."
