Unfortunately, it takes more than a strong work ethic and long hours to get ahead or even survive in most organizations. Organizational survival often requires mastering organizational politics. But how are we supposed to learn how to navigate the often-treacherous world of tight coalitions, unwritten rules, and secret agendas? The Organizational Politics Playbook has the answers and includes fifty practical strategies that include how to: Uncover the secret sources of power Make others look good Leave a bad organization with grace Build a protective brain trust Make yourself seem more valuable by creating a sense of scarcity While this book addresses predictable strategies such as creating fear, using coercion, and engaging in manipulation, it does so only to make sure you recognize them. Allison Vaillancourt believes we must know the dirty tricks of politics in order to combat them. About the Author Allison M. Vaillancourt is an organizational consultant with more than thirty years of experience working with higher education, non-profit, and corporate organizations. She lives in Tucson, Arizona. Review: Essential - I pull this off my bookshelf whenever I catch myself slipping. I try to stay constantly alert to strategies being used around me in the workplace, and the various "players" involved, but it can be easy to go on autopilot if you think the politics has shifted or if you start to feel too comfortable. Working 40h a week, its hard to pick up a large book and read it. This one is concise enough to not be a doorstop, yet simultaneously elaborate enough to educate you thoroughly. All I can add is if you're lucky enough to find this resource, read it multiple times. I would say that I wish more people knew about this book, but seeing as it's about strategy, that's probably not a good thing, or we'd have to write a new one.

It’s not covered in business schools or leadership programs. People often don’t feel comfortable admitting that such politics even exist and those who do, struggle with articulating how to manage oneself when facing the informal and unknown rules of the game. Allison writes in the style of a trusted and dear friend, providing readers with the perfect toolkit to learn how to strategically navigate those sticky situations. The book is well organized for the busy professional who may not have time to read an entire book, or for one who wishes to tackle a specific topic such as “avoid shining too brightly”, “consider why they aren’t calling out bad behavior”, and “stop silencing the skeptics”. In two-to-three pages, learn about each topic and how to successfully manage it from a seasoned expert who has your back. This will be my go-to guide when mentoring colleagues…pick a topic, read the brief guide, and discuss! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Organizational Politics Playbook: 50 Strategies to Navigate Power Dynamics at Work - Secrets to Winning at Office Politics - It's All Politics: Winning in a World Where Hard Work and Talent Aren't Enough --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/278360713-the-organizational-politics-playbook-50-strategies-to-navigate-power-dynamics](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/278360713-the-organizational-politics-playbook-50-strategies-to-navigate-power-dynamics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
