Controversial topic, but this is something that affects all of us. While some say that an office where politics don't exist does not exist, some say that politics does have an advantage of their own if applied properly.
I am happy doing whatever job I do, corporate politics is something that interests me not for the lust of doing it, but for knowing what is running in the mind of the guy you are interacting on a regular basis.
Frank Adoranti's The Lazy Executive's Guide: Hot to Lie, Cheat and Steal Your Way to the Top. has dealt with these situations in a humourous way, as the pages unfold one gets to know the tricks of the trade and how to survive among greedy vultures. This IMO is a *Must Read* book for everyone who has stepped foot in the corporate world. Riveting, the book blooms in the references to the characters you meet in real life.
