Confronting Company Politics

Many companies and organisations have embarked upon change programmes as part of a quest for a common vision, identity and set of values. These programmes are frequently frustrated by company politics based upon less obvioius power structures within the company or organisation. This book examines the nature of this conflict and proposes a methodology to demonstrate how long term change can be successfully implemented.
