House Rules

Forty rules that every workplace runs on and nobody says out loud. Who actually decides. Why the meeting is not where it happens. What your silence gets counted as. How to tell you are on the way out, months before anyone tells you. Each rule is one short chapter: a scene, the rule, why it works, where it stops working, and what to do about it. The research behind each rule is named. Where there is no study, the book says so. The rules come in five groups: getting in, how decisions get made, favors and credit, leaving, and what you owe the next new person once the room is yours. Threshold, Book Two. The Opening and Rule One are free.
