A unique and revelatory guide to understanding and navigating the
unwritten rules of the workplace—the key to achieving success,
finding meaning, and staying true to your authentic self in
today’s business world—from the organizational expert and
celebrated author of The Fix. In her two decades researching
organizations, Michelle King has discovered that people who succeed
possess a particularly unique skill: They know how workplaces work.
More specifically, to get ahead, they do not rely on the often
generic and outdated written formal rules that for a century have
defined the workplace. Instead, they have learned to gauge how they
should behave and perform by becoming aware of informal (and
unspoken) rules that exist just below the surface, rather than
“formal” organizational guidelines. In this one-of-a-kind
guide, King offers her proprietary framework based on over ten
years of research and hundreds of employees who reached leadership
positions. By focusing on five key areas -- navigating informal
networks; developing self-awareness and awareness of others;
learning the skills you need to be adaptive to changing conditions;
getting support for your next promotion; and finding meaning and
fulfillment at work—King teaches every professional how to
understand and make these systems work for them and achieve their
career ambitions. The new world of work requires a new way of
working. With more people vying for top positions, a volatile
unpredictable global workplace, and an ever-evolving landscape, it
is increasingly important for employees to understand how to
negotiate the unspoken and intangible elements of workplace
culture.. In How Work Works, King dispels old myths and provides
keen observations about what it means to find belonging, build
networks, manage the informal and ultimately thrive at work.
