What I like about this book is that it does not ask you to employ and dirty or devious tricks with your co-workers, but rather, it asks you to take the high road, and to treat people well. When things do go wrong, it has many suggestions for bringing to light situations in a delicate way that will aide in helping the situation without a huge loss of face to the instigator.
