Excellent
Required reading for life
Worth your time
Highly important book that discusses power in a way that is functional for anyone not growing in a large organization, not for those who are just desperately in need of therapy (looking at you Niccolo). Should be considered required for anyone who works in a major institution.
Outstanding
This book is outstanding and I only wish that I had read it before beginning my career and learning some of these things the hard way. A must-read for anyone finishing school and heading into the workplace.
