About the book

Many people believe that the world is a fair place where everyone gets what they deserve. Don't be fooled, the author of this book urges, because the reality is not what we want it to be. The bitter truth is that there is a struggle for every step of the career ladder, and the fewer the number of senior positions, the fiercer the competition. Almost every company has only one CEO, every firm has only one manager, every country has only one president or prime minister. You may have the talent and the right communication skills, but you have to settle for an uninfluential position because you don't have the desire or ability to fight for power.

Who is this book for

The book is for a wide range of readers, anyone interested in psychology, self-development, for HR specialists, managers of all levels.

Why this book

The author of this book argues that everyone can and should learn to compete by applying the principles of power to achieve success and learn to win professional battles. You may not agree with them, but you should read it.
