Games at Work: How to Recognize and Reduce Office Politics

AS LONG AS PEOPLE HAVE WORKED together, they have engaged in political games. Motivated by short-term gains―promotions, funding for a project, budget increases, status with the boss―people misuse their time and energy. Today, when many organizations are fighting for their lives and scarce resources there is increased stress and anxiety, and employees are engaging in games more intensely than ever before. 
Organizational experts Mauricio Goldstein and Philip Read argue that office games―those manipulative behaviors that distract employees from achieving their mission―are both conscious and unconscious. They can and should be effectively minimized. In Games at Work, the authors offer tools to diagnose the most common games that people play and outline a three-step process to effectively deal with them. Some of the games they explore include: 
<ul>
<li>
GOTCHA: identifying and communicating others' mistakes in an effort to win points from higher-ups</li> <li>
GOSSIP: engaging in the classic rumor mill to gain political advantage</li> <li>
SANDBAGGING: purposely low-balling sales forecasts as a negotiating ploy</li> <li>
GRAY ZONE: deliberately fostering ambiguity or lack of clarity about who should do what to avoid accountability</li> </ul>
Filled with real-world, entertaining examples of games in action, Games at Work is an invaluable resource for managers and all professionals who want to substitute straight talk for games in their organizations and boost productivity, commitment, innovation, and―ultimately―the bottom line.

Winner of eight world championships between 1964 and 1977, Phil Read MBE is Britain's most successful living motorcycle road racer. Starting out on a bike bought by his doting mother in 1956, he announced his entry in big-time racing with an Isle of Man TT victory in 1961. Three years later he took his first world title, also the first for the Japanese Yamaha factory he raced with. 
Four more Yamaha-mounted titles followed including one hard-fought as a privateer, plus two in a row in 1973 and 1974 in the Blue Riband 500cc class with the mighty Italian MV Agusta team. An eighth world championship came from Read's courageous ride to victory on wet roads in the 1977 Formula 1 TT race, on a heavy 810cc Honda. 
In this revealing autobiography, the Prince of Speed vividly recalls hectic track battles against riders like Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, and Barry Sheene, all of whom he beat at various times. "Rebel Read", who was never far from controversy, frankly describes life in the grand prix circus: the glamour, the danger, the money, the politics and the sex.
