Beyond bruised egos and a free-floating sense of unfairness lies a larger organizational problem: when the wrong people get noticed and rewarded, organizations suffer. Projects fail, goals are not met, employee morale and motivation disintegrate, and cynicism festers.
This book can help you prevent those drastic outcomes by making authentic self-promotion part of your everyday work life.
