<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is a bare-knuckled, reality-based, tough-love book about real life at a large company. Rather than contribute to the list of career books on the shelves today (you know the ones that are full of inspirational messages, telling you to change your life, influence people, and network until you drop), Gilad and Chussil share research-backed strategies for competing and surviving in a dysfunctional corporate culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Welcome to Corporate Life. </b><p> <i>The NEW Employee Manual</i> is not your Dad's or Mom's employee manual. It's the new playbook for corporate survival, fitting today's realities and the challenges facing employees who join or work in large, seemingly successful companies. Those companies already issued very specific and detailed employee manuals covering everything under the sun except how to compete well in our brave new world. <p/> <i>The NEW Employee Manual</i> will help you navigate the Corporate (with a capital C) labyrinth. Where Corporate's manual shapes you into a dutiful cog for the good of the machine, ours helps you enhance your career for the good of, well, you ... and your company. <p/> <i>The NEW Employee Manual</i> should make you feel skeptical: skeptical of empty slogans, obsolete rituals, obsessive pursuits, and bigwigs' playbooks that no longer work. That alone should be worth this book's price. Skepticism, you see, is a good thing, because it is only the skeptic, only the free-thinker, only the maverick, who asks new questions and finds useful answers. So, are you a maverick or a cog?<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Welcome to Corporate Life! We're here to tell you the truth about it.</b><p>In your hands is the new manual for corporate survival. Where corporate's manual shapes you into a dutiful cog, The New Employee Manual helps you enhance your career for the good of you... and your company. But be forewarned: <b>This isn't a book for corporate sheeple. It's a book for the maverick.</b></p><p>To help you understand the corporate landscape, Benjamin Gilad and Mark Chussil, top war-gaming and strategic-thinking experts for the Fortune 500, deliver unconventional strategies to help you compete and thrive in today's dysfunctional corporate culture. Benjamin and Mark show you how to: </p><ul><li>Safely navigate COOCs (Corporate, Overconfi dent, Oblivious Cultures)</li><li>Identify OOPs (Overconfi dent, Oblivious People) and figure out how to do your job despite them</li><li>Understand the realities of your actual job no matter what your job description says</li><li>Decide if you are better off as an entrepreneur--even if you have to buy your own health insurance</li></ul><p>Forget about knowing where the break room is and whether you get summer Fridays off . This book is your go-to guide for a stellar career.
