William Lareau, the plain-talking, tell-it-like-it-is, hold-nothing back author of CONDUCT EXPECTED and AMERICAN SAMURAI describes in detail what’s going on in the brutal world of the 21st century business and what you must do to beat uncaring organizations at their own game. Lareau shows you how to identify what type of organizations has you in its jaws. Each type values and rewards different behaviors. Make a mistake and your career gets it in the neck.

Dancing With the Dinosaur: Learning to Live in the Corporate Jungle

The classic first edition of CONDUCT EXPECTED, published during the high-flying 80s, was the right hook for the times. It detailed the rules for success in those "go for the gold", there’s no limit era. Using psychological theory, keen business insights, and the accumulated wisdom of thousands of "survivors," William Lareau detailed 100 rules for successfully climbing the corporate and career ladder. 
An additional new section explains why organizations are almost always screwed up and why, in a traditional organization, it’s pointless to fight it. You discover how to stay out of trouble in such a structure and what you can do to change it if you’re in charge (and only if you’re in charge).
