Do you know what is holding you back at work?
Over the course of two decades, I have dedicated myself to researching organizations, and along the?way, I made a remarkable discovery: those who achieve true success in the workplace possess a?unique skill - they understand how workplaces truly operate. They go beyond relying solely on the?written rules that have defined the workplace for years and instead master the art of navigating?the unspoken and informal rules that lie just beneath the surface.
