Hi,
Many times we hear about politicians taking care of their competitors, or in workplaces colleagues stepping over each other, but I never came across details of these schemes.
You might call it power plays or games, social transactions, and they are either only for (a sick) self entertainment or for power and control.
I was wondering if there are books or other sources that present the basics of them, or describe examples from which the reader can build intuition? Does anybody know about such?
Rest assured, I have no intention of using them against others. In the past I happened to find myself in the middle of such situations as the target, and realised the best would be to learn how to recognise them, predict the next move, and deflect them. But for that I would need to learn more about them first.
("don't provide surfaces for attack" didn't work, they just made up a reason and put me aside, all while asking for my advice on how could they improve their business)
